MAURICE DAUMAS (1910 - 1984) - The French Trailblazer
The history of technology would never have become a prominent field of historical research without energetic pathbreakers. Maurice Daumas was one of them. One of his better known early works is Les instruments scientifiques aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles, which was also published in English. Between 1962 and 1978, he edited a highly acclaimed history of technology, Histoire generale des techniques, in five volumes, which has been translated into English and Spanish, and used as a textbook in various countries. In France, Daumas was also the pioneer of industrial archaeology. Daumas was the first secretary general of ICOHTEC and the host of its symposium at Pont- a-Mousson in 1970.
