Typists' overlooked role in physics history revisited
Original: Typing Physics: The essential role of typists in intra-scientific communication
Physics historians are highlighting the essential but often forgotten work of typists who translated physicists' handwritten notes and equations into shared documents, enabling scientific communication before the digital era. The topic examines how these workers shaped how physics research circulated within the scientific community, a contribution largely absent from standard histories of the discipline.
Why now: A renewed interest is under way in crediting hidden technical workers in the history of science.
