 THE HISTORICAL ASTRONOMY DIVISION
The original impetus for the founding of a Historical Astronomy Division came from conversations between John S. Eddy, Owen Gingerich, and Kenneth Brecher during the fall of 1978, when Eddy was on leave from the University of Colorado and spending some time at the Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.
The name Historical Astronomy Division was chosen, rather than History of Astronomy Division, because, as Owen Gingerich recalls, they “wanted to include uses of historical evidence for modern astronomy as well as archaeoastronomy,” in addition to the more traditional history of astronomy.
By historical astronomy we include the history of astronomy; what has come to be known as archaeoastronomy; and the application of historical records to modern astrophysical problems.
