Histories of Data and the Database

Welcoming Remarks by Steve Hindle

In the age of internet searches and social media, data has become hot—and not for the first time. An international group of historians will consider the promises, fears, practices, and technologies for recording and transmitting data in the 18th century to the present, including the implications for the lives of citizens and subjects. The conference was held at The Huntington on Nov. 18–19, 2016.
