History of Science, Technology, and Medicine is the definitive international bibliography on the development and influence of science, from prehistory to the present. It integrates four premier bibliographic tools for historians: Isis Current Bibliography of the History of Science, Current Bibliography in the History of Technology, Bibliografia Italiana di Storia della Scienza, and citations from the Wellcome Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine (incorporating the former Wellcome Bibliography for the History of Medicine). The database includes citations from nearly 9,500 journals in addition to books, book reviews, articles and essays from books, conference proceedings, and dissertations. Coverage is from 1975 to the present. It is created under the auspices of the International Union of the History and Philosophy of Science, and distributed by RLG, a not-for-profit organization of libraries, archives, and museums.
