- W4376544008 abstract "Introduction Introducing the journal’s first multiyear index fifteen years ago, I noted that “the 5,902 pages in the first ten volumes of Technology and Culture played a major part in making the history of technology a recognized field of scholarly inquiry.” Otherjournals having followed T C’s lead, the field has flourished, but T C’s value seems in no way diminished after twenty-five years. As the number of published pages grew to approach 18,000, however, the problem of access expanded commensurately. Annual indexes help, of course, but they suffer inherent limitations; no one ever doubted the need for a cumulative twenty-five-year index to cover the 100 issues between fall 1959 and October 1984. Unfortunately, early plans for timely publi cation fell afoul of culture and technology, to say nothing of institu tional inertia and human vagary. Eventually, all obstacles were surmounted. Thus the present vol ume. Like the ten-year index, it has two parts: first, a listing of authors and titles, second, of subjects. Potential users may benefit from a few notes on structure and arrangement. Part One: Author-Title Index The author-title index covers everything published in T & C except advertisements. It also includes authors and titles of all books re viewed. Citations are to T & C volume number and first page. Author entries begin with full names of all authors (as shown in the journal); elsewhere names are shortened to initials and last names in title entries, or last names only in entries for reviews. Second authors are listed, but cross-referenced to the main entry, that of the first author. After authors’ names, titles are listed in order of T & C publication within four categories: (1) articles and other titled contributions, individually annotated; (2) book reviews, including those of the author’s own books, indicated by (R) after the title, as well as books the iii iv Introduction author has reviewed, indicated by (R) before the title; (3) edited works; and (4) joint works. Title entries begin with full titles and subtitles (again, as shown in the journal), followed by author’s initials and last name. Elsewhere subtitles of books are omitted. Part Two: Subject Index The subject index includes entries of several kinds. There are three major categories of larger subjects: time-oriented (e.g., Ancient Technology, Prehistory, World War I), place-oriented (e.g., Africa, East Asia, Midwestern United States, Paris), and field-oriented (e.g., Aeronautical Engineering and Technology, Labor History, Values and Technology). Subcategories vary somewhat according to the specific topic, but generally involve temporal and geographic cuts. My ap proach throughout has been basicallv empirical, guided by my desire to accommodate the specific contents of T L? C’s hrst twenty-five volumes. I have sought to avoid imposing any a priori notions of how the subject matter of the history of technology ought to be sorted. Extensive cross-references should help you find your way. Individual persons, companies, institutions, artifacts, and the like each have separate entries, if named in a title or seemingly a major subject. 1 have not tried to locate everv mention, however casual; instead I focused on identifying reasonably substantive discussion. Citations are to the volume number and hrst page of the article or review in which the subject appears, not to specific pages. Books, perhaps needless to say, are sorted onlv on the basis of the review as published in T C? C; to a significant degree, what is classified in the T Gf C subject, index is the review rather than the work reviewed. Quite apart from questions of subjectivity, some works have been harder than others to classify. Eor the inevitable errors, my apologies. For vour patience, ntv thanks. Barton C.
