ICOHTEC Reviewed (2014)

unapi

This essay reviews the development of ICOHTEC from its origin in 1968 to the occasion of the joint symposium with TICCIH in Finland in 2010. It presents the Committee as evolving from an attempt to build intellectual bridges between East and West in the period of the Cold War, with an emphasis on national representation through active societies and groups, to the present thriving society of individual members engaged in advancing the history of technology. Unlike TICCIH, with its concentration on the conservation of industrial monuments, it has always placed most weight on the academic understanding of the history of technology, although by no means unconcerned about conservation and environmental issues.
