In July 2005 the XXIInd International Congress of History of Science met in Beijing, China, under the auspices of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science, Division of History of Science, with the general theme of Globalization and Diversity: Diffusion of Science and Technology throughout History. Thirteen papers were presented, and eight are published here, representing authors from seven different nations. The Commission hopes that symposia like these will develop into a primary source for dissemination of research results for climate scientists who use historical data as their source for study, and for historians who look to extract climatological information from as-yet unused sources. Whether the historical data used are logbooks from ships plying the English Channel, reports of missionaries in the high Arctic, records of bridge masters and tollhouse operators on the rivers of Europe, diarists in North America and the Low Countries, Byzantine Church records, or the length of ancient European leg bones, they represent a uniquely human record of the weather, unlike any other proxies used for climatic reconstruction today. Specific methodologies, from content analysis to cultural analysis, to forensic synoptic analysis are today converging to allow researchers of these historic data an opportunity to unlock the secrets of the weather of the past, as well as acquiring insight into the life experience of the observers, without cultural bias.
