Three Societies Meeting
Philadelphia, PA
July 11-14, 2012

Every four years the History of Science Society, the British Society for the History of Science and the Canadian Society for the History & Philosophy of Science meet jointly in mid-summer for multi-day sessions on the history of science. The “Three Societies Meeting” alternates among the US, Canada and the UK. The History of Science Society will serve as host in 2012 and, thanks to a proposal submitted by the Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science, Philadelphia will provide the venue for this Three Societies Meeting.

The conference will attract hundreds of historians of science to Philadelphia for the meetings. The main venues for the sessions will be the meeting rooms at the University of Pennsylvania, with introductory sessions at the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the American Philosophical Society.

Previous Three Society Meetings were at Oxford (2008), Halifax (2004), St. Louis (2000), Edinburgh (1996) and Toronto (1992).
