Publications

[edit]

Archives internationales d'histoire des sciences, formerly Archivio di storia della scienza and then Archeion, is an international academic journal of the history of science now published by the International Academy of the History of Science. It was founded as Archivio di storia della scienza by Aldo Mieli in 1919, renamed Archeion in 1927, and edited by Mieli from its founding in 1919 until its closure, due to wartime political pressures on Mieli, in 1943.[2] The journal was revived in 1947 as Archives internationales d'histoire des sciences.[3] Its early history was notable for its commitment to political internationalism and for its role in the establishment of the history of science as an academic discipline.[4]
