👉 The Hist Project is an initiative by the Human Information Science (HIS) community aimed at advancing the study and application of historical methods and theories in information science. It seeks to bridge the gap between traditional historical research and contemporary information practices, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among historians, librarians, archivists, and information scientists. By developing tools, methodologies, and frameworks that integrate historical insights into the management, preservation, and dissemination of information, Hist Project aims to enhance our understanding of how information evolves over time and how it can inform current and future information systems. This project emphasizes the importance of context and long-term perspectives in information science, promoting a more nuanced and comprehensive approach to handling digital and physical information resources.
