I see History of Knowledge has migrated from WordPress.com to Hypotheses.org. Given all the nonsense that Automattic has been putting its clients through, I am glad. It should have a nice long life on that platform.
The current domain, https://historyofknowledge.net points or forwards there, although I don’t know if it will over the long term. Fortunately, the new domain pops right up on a DuckDuckGo search for “History of Knowledge blog” – https://historyofknowledge.hypotheses.org.
Abstract The authors reflect on their experiences as the founding editors of the History of Knowledge blog. Situating the project in its specific institutional, geographical, and historiographical contexts, they highlight its role in scholarly communication and research alongside journals and books in a research domain that is still young, especially when viewed from an international perspective. At the same time, the authors discuss the blog’s role as a tool for classifying and structuring a corpus of work as it grows over time and as new themes and connections emerge from the contributions of its many authors.
Mark Carrigan’s newest blog post raises excellent points about social media and academic communication networks. I follow his blog (it’s great!). Here’s the link

The need to make a living means I do not published much, but last year I was able to reflect, with Kerstin von der Krone, on the _History of Knowledge_ blog (https://historyofknowledge.net) at the end of my 10+ years at the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC.
