Abstract
Taking historian William Cronon’s 1992 essay, “A Place for Stories,” as its point of departure, this essay considers the character, purposes, and uses of narratives about “things” generated by self-identified historians of technology. Following Cronon, Herzig proposes closer scrutiny of narrative within SHOT, as part of a broader discussion of the changing roles and responsibilities of professional historians.
