Abstract

ANYONE WHO EXAMINES THE DEVELOPMENT of the History of Science Society I (HSS) will note a sharp cleavage between its activities and institutional structure in the years before and after World War II. In part this was caused by the postwar growth of the history of science as an academic discipline that eventually required an infrastructure adapted to the new professional needs. But the precipitating factor that completely altered the character of the HSS was the response to a series of problems that arose in relation to the publication of Isis. In this presentation I shall deal, first of all, with these problems of publishing Isis and then turn to the growth of the profession of History of Science and the constantly expanding role of the HSS.
