Introduction to ICOHTEC
The International Committee for the History of Technology (ICOHTEC) was founded in Paris 1968 when bitterness divided the nations in the Eastern and Western worlds. The intent was to provide a forum of scholars for the history of technology from both sides of the "iron curtain". It was constituted as a Scientific Section within the Division of the History of Science and Technology of the International Union of the History and Philosophy of Science (IUHPS/DHST).
ICOHTEC objectives are:
- To establish close working relationships among specialists of different disciplines in order to foster international cooperation for the study and development of the history of technology;
- To promote the study of appropriate historical subjects by establishing and extending the scholarly bases of the history of technology as well as by contributing to the resolution of certain contemporary national and international problems;
- To facilitate research and documentation for scholars in all countries in the history of technology by exchange of information and the creation of the material means necessary for this objective.
