Many readers of this Newsletter know that I am writing to the members of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, in my capacity as the Smithsonian Institution has held an Society Secretary, on behalf of the Executive Committee of the History of Science Society. The History important role in the development of our of Science Society has noted the statements of concern by the American Historical Association, the Organization ofAmerican Historians, the American Anthropological Association, the American Studies profession. The Smithsonian has, over Association, the American Association of Museums, and other less closely related, but no less important, several decades, supported research and scholarly and scientific associations regarding the failure of the present administration of the Smithsonian public education in the history of science. Institution to: Some ofus have had the pleasure ofusing its archives and artifacts in our research. Many - leave control over the subject and content of exhibits (specifically those in the National of us have worked at the Smithsonian's Museum of American History) in the hands of the scholarly staff, i.e., to refrain from dictating museums or benefited from Smithsonian programmatic decisions from the center or allowing them to be dictated by the wishes of fellowship programs. individual donors TheHSSExecutiveCommitteeand - ensure the public trust through openness and transparency regarding the terms on which the Institution has accepted funds from individuals and corporations. Council have, therefore, been dismayed by a brewing crisis in the Smithsonian's If we have waited until the present juncture to join with these sister societies in expressions of management. For some years now the concern, that is due not to an involvement any less deep with the Institution and its scholarly staff, Smithsonian has extended broader and but rather reflects a reticence arising from the long and exceptionally close relationship between the broader rights to private donors in its search History of Science Society and the Smithsonian, especially with its National Museum of American for funds to underwrite exhibits. Under the History (where the journal of our society, Isis was edited from 1964-1978 by Robert P.

This omission undermines the Institution's themes for exhibits. long-standing tradition of support for the historical scholarship of its curators, historians, and archivists - a tradition that has greatly strengthened both the historical professions and the public understanding Members of the Executive of science and technology. We are also concerned that the Institution has greatly decreased, and Committee have written several letters to the threatens to eliminate, funding for the long-standing program of fellowships bringing a vivifying Regents ofthe Smithsonian in recent months stream of scholars, both senior and junior, through the Institution.

The International Summer School in History ofscience meets biennially. The School's purpose is to bring together specialists and advanced aspirants to develop topics in history of science and technology deemed interesting, timely, and appropriate to the location. The number of participants is limited to about forty. A chief goal of the school is to promote collaborative research on an international level. The theme for the 2002 Summer School will be "Rethinking Scientific Knowledge in the 16th and early 17th Centuries." The school has four courses, and each one will be addressed in two series of lectures, which, with ensuing discussions, will occupy the mornings. Two special lectures will complete this program. Afternoons will be free for visits, work in libraries, museums, or laboratories.
