It is clear that artifacts have the power to provoke thought,
inspire action and arouse passions. There is evidence of this in
the ever-increasing number of museums as well as in the ability of
those museums to stimulate controversy through exhibits. As a
consequence, much has been written analyzing the interaction
between objects and museum visitors. Less well recognized, or
understood, is the value of objects for historical research. In
this series of books we propose to show by example how artifacts
can be employed in the study of the history of science and
technology in ways ranging from motivating a line of research to
providing hard evidence in the solution of an otherwise insoluble
problem. The first volume focused on medicine; in this, the second
volume, the topic our authors address is electronics. As readers
will discover, there is considerable scope in the range of topics
and in the range of uses of artifacts. There is also a section that
suggests to readers what kind of questions they might consider when
they visit electrical exhibits, and where those exhibits are to be
found.
This series is sponsored by the Deutsches Museum in Munich, the
Science Museum in London, and the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, with help from professional historians in other museums
and elsewhere.
