Abstract
Some sciences like geology, astronomy or demography require a time scale of observation and study of phenomena that lasts longer than a human lifespan – and even that of civilizations. These “Sciences of the Archives” rely on the contribution of scientists who store their data and knowledge for the generations following after them. In this video, LORRAINE DASTON explains how an interdisciplinary group of scholars investigated which conditions enable such scientific endeavors that depend on long-lived collections. * This LT Publication is divided into the following chapters: 0:00 Question 3:01 Method 6:10 Findings 10:10 Relevance 12:35 Outlook
