Congrats to CBI Project Archivist Jennifer Shaw-Spence on her wonderful presentation on artist, feminist, scholar & computer & experimental art pioneer Maureen Nappi, an amazing collection at the CBI. From her work on early Black Flag & Ramones videos to Max Headroom, work for SIGGRAPH. #histtech
#SkyStorians, art historians and historians of science: Is anyone familiar with or specialized in decorative engravings on #EarlyModern scientific instruments, especially clocks? We have questions with respect to the dating! #HistSci #HistTech #ArtHistory #HistSTM #MaterialCulture 🗃️ 🏛️

Map titled 'How the Trolleybus Spread by 1900', subtitled 'The experiments. 7 lines opened, 3 still running.' Seven markers are scattered across the US (Reno, Hill City, Greenwich) and Europe (Berlin-Halensee, Paris, Issy, Chillon-Villeneuve). Most are outline (already closed), three are filled (still running). The map is mostly empty.
How the trolleybus spread. By 1900, seven trolleybus lines had been tried across nearly two decades. Berlin-Halensee was first in 1882. The thought crossed to America, then back to the Paris Exposition in 1900.

Freue mich sehr auf meine erste GTG Konferenz und den Austausch in einem Feld, das ich bisher eher nur am Rande der #EnvHist , Sammlungs- und Universitätsgeschichte kennen lernen konnte. Aber wenn #EnergyHistory ,
#HistTech & #Museum zusammen kommen, dann bin ich mit Begeisterung dabei. Wer noch?
The fantasy (and hubris) of technological objects when they are in fact envirotechical things
