Archival Afterlives explores the posthumous fortunes of scientific
and medical archives in early modern Britain. If early modern
natural philosophers claimed all knowledge as their province,
theirs was a paper empire. But how and why did naturalists engage
with archives, and in particular, with the papers of their dead
predecessors? This volume makes a firm case for expanding what
counts as scientific labour, integrating scribes, archivist,
library keepers, editors, and friends and family of deceased
naturalists into the history of science. It shows how early modern
natural philosophers pursued new natural knowledge in dialogue with
their recent material past. Finally, it demonstrates the sustaining
importance of archival institutions in the growth and development
of the "New Sciences." Contributors are: Arnold Hunt, Michael
Hunter, Vera Keller, Carol Pal, Anna Marie Roos, Richard
Serjeantson, Victoria Sloyan, Alison Walker, and Elizabeth Yale.
