EMERGENCE OF THE INFORMATION DOMAINHISTORY OF INFORMATION AND SOCIETY

Spring, 2011

READING LIST

This reading list aims to accomplish three goals:

1. To identify works that provide good accounts of aspects of the history of each of the four fields that in the late twentieth century coalesced into the Information Domain. As much as possible, these works concern matters that resonate in one or more other fields of the information domain. The Information Domain is my term for the realm of the academy that resulted from the coming together of the four fields: library science, archival science, information science, and preservation/conservation studies in the cultural record environment. As no field is or remains an island unto itself, so other fields have come into the Information Domain, notably information technology.

2. To identify works that offer solid historical accounts of institutions and individuals who and which have consciously worked with more than one of the fields. Though the information domain may be a late twentieth-century construction, all of the fields comprising it have histories and antecedents extending centuries into the past. The relationships between and among these histories must be the heart of study of the history of the information domain.

3. To provide insight into the mindset of the historian and the nature of the study of history that suggests meaning for events so as to broaden and enrich understanding of the world—the historical world and through it, the contemporary world.

The following codes are intended to offer some assistance for choosing readings. Categorization is incomplete, however, and many works have a breadth and scope that do not lend themselves to easy categorization:

A = Archives/recordsI = Information ScienceL = Libraries/library scienceP = Preservation

1 = 1500-18002 = 1800-18603 = 1860-19004 = 1900-19405 = 1940-present

Studies of technologies for capturing and managing information will be found particularly in two sections: Information and Preservation
