While it is not a given that a new academic society will immediately establish a newsletter, some form of communication with members inevitably becomes necessary. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Mathematics (CSHPM), this essay reviews the history of the Society’s Newsletter, Bulletin, website, email lists, social media presence, and other publications. Further, it shows how these communications document the history of CSHPM by serving as the publication of record for Society reports and through providing venues in which members planned and celebrated activities. The paper additionally connects CSHPM’s communications to the relatively scant scholarship on academic newsletters, and the importance of newsletters within the larger history of scholarly societies is emphasized.

摘要

While it is not a given that a new academic society will immediately establish a newsletter, some form of communication with members inevitably becomes necessary. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Mathematics (CSHPM), this essay reviews the history of the Society’s Newsletter, Bulletin, website, email lists, social media presence, and other publications. Further, it shows how these communications document the history of CSHPM by serving as the publication of record for Society reports and through providing venues in which members planned and celebrated activities. The paper additionally connects CSHPM’s communications to the relatively scant scholarship on academic newsletters, and the importance of newsletters within the larger history of scholarly societies is emphasized.
