Dear all,

First off, thanks very much to Tom for posting this to the list. (I'm one of the co-organizers.) I can't believe that I hadn't yet done so myself, because...

Second, we'd really love to have historians of computing at the conference. As Tom mentions, we're taking on some questions of interest to this community, and our conversations would greatly benefit from the participation of anyone present who can make it.

Third, we'll have at least a liiittle bit on information in business (the chemical industry) in my talk, though admittedly you wouldn't know it from the title/abstract.

Hope to see some of you there. Feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions.

Best,
Evan

Hi Tom,

Thanks so much for sending this! The conference looks really interesting. I just forwarded this information to the HSS department here at Penn.

Best,

The event below looks interesting, particularly for those in the mid-Atlantic area. Information history in the information science sense rather than the information technology sense, but a nice mix of prominent historians with information school people. Scientific information, libraries, and intellectual property. Nothing on information in business though.
