Abstract

The first attempt to bring together the historians of science from the Baltic States took place in Riga in 1958. Prof. Pauls Stradiņš (1896–1958) initiated and organised a joint meeting for historians of science from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania under the supervision of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. A program for future joint activities was developed, and the tradition of joint conferences—the Baltic Conference on History of Science (BCHS)—in each country followed. In 1991, the Baltic Association of the History and Philosophy of Science (BAHPS), uniting historians and philosophers of science of independent Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, took over organising the BCHS. The article aims to present an overview of the published results of the conference, which is partly based on the annotated bibliography (1958–1985) of the conference. The authors analyse the subject, dissemination and tradition of the BCHS, and discuss the role of academic institutions in organising the events. Since the overview was inspired by a decision to gather a complete set of books of conference abstracts, it also resulted in recommendations for conference organisers. Between 1958 and 2019, twenty-nine conferences were organised and 2,880 papers were presented. The next conference will take place in Finland in 2022. The main ideas of the article were presented at the 26th International Congress on History and Philosophy of Science in Prague in 2021.

波罗的海科学史会议:记录1958-2019年波罗的海国家的科学史

1958年，第一次尝试将波罗的海国家的科学历史学家聚集在一起是在里加。Pauls Stradiņš教授（1896–1958）在苏联科学院的监督下，发起并组织了拉脱维亚、爱沙尼亚和立陶宛的科学历史学家联席会议。制定了未来联合活动的计划，并遵循了在每个国家举行联合会议的传统——波罗的海科学史会议（BCHS）。1991年，波罗的海科学史和哲学协会（BAHPS）联合了独立的爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛的历史学家和科学哲学家，接管了BCHS的组织工作。本文旨在概述会议已发表的成果，部分基于会议的注释书目（1958-1985）。作者分析了BCHS的主题、传播和传统，并讨论了学术机构在组织活动中的作用。由于概述的灵感来自于收集一整套会议摘要书籍的决定，因此也为会议组织者提出了建议。1958年至2019年间，共组织了29次会议，发表了2880篇论文。下一次会议将于2022年在芬兰举行。这篇文章的主要观点在2021年于布拉格举行的第26届国际科学史与哲学大会上发表。
