About Us

1. The gap between the humanities and the sciences is bridged by some  historians interested in the history of earth science, and by some geoscientists interested in the history of their fields. A society to  which both historians and earth scientists belong allows for mutually  beneficial exchanges of ideas.
2.  Because  the history of earth science is a global topic, a national group may not  be suitably flexible. A society open to all and cosmopolitan in  composition and outlook provides this element of breadth.
3. In the  past, even with all the other journals available, it has been difficult  to find an outlet for scholarly works in the history of the earth  sciences. A prime goal of the new society was to establish a refereed journal.
4. Historical studies of ideas concerning the Earth, institutions involved  in such research, and prominent workers have seldom received much attention. With greater prominence and a journal dedicated to the field,  more support for intellectual endeavors in the broad domain of  geoscience history has been forthcoming.
