Energy, Technology and the Environment (2014)

unapi

In 1982, in Smolenice, Czechoslavakia, and in the wake of the 1970 energy crises, ICOHTEC decided to focus on 'energy in history' at its 1984 symposium. The meeting in Lerbach, Germany, inaugurated energy as a subject of interest in successive symposia, with sessions regularly addressing energy resources, production, transportation and use. Tangentially, a closely related interest in the environment emerged at ICOHTEC symposia, and technology and the environment appeared as a subject in its own right. In 2000, these related topics all came together in Prague, where the symposium theme was 'technological landscapes: energy, transport and environment.' That same year, ICOHTEC members joined with historians of technology in the American Society for the History of Technology and with environmental historians to form Envirotech, a new organisation 'bridging the histories of environment and technology', and books and articles on the subject emerged from the work of ICOHTEC scholars. Subsequently, energy, technology and the environment continues to be an important and on—going subject of discussion at ICOHTEC symposia.
