In this essay, I sample works at the intersection of the history of data and the history of the body and lay out an agenda for bringing the fields closer together. I outline two ways of thinking about the history of data through a history of the body lens: Data having bodies, and data coming from bodies. Putting the history of data into more direct conversation with the rich scholarship on the history of the body not only yields important insights into the history and nature of data but also places the ethical stakes around the present day uses of data into sharper focus.
