*About this talk:*
This talk is part of the of the Humanities for STEM Symposium, which was
held in Brooklyn, NY on April 6-7, 2018. This symposium was the culminating
event of the research collaborative group Humanities for STEM: Using
Archives to Bridge the Two Cultures Divide. The research collaborative was
sponsored by a two-year grant (2016-2018) from the New York University
Center for the Humanities. The group, which included teaching faculty,
librarians, archivists, and graduate students from the New York/New Jersey
area, sought to examine how the study of primary sources, archival
research, and associated methodologies of the humanities can be used to
enhance the understanding of science (including medicine), technology,
engineering, and mathematics. For more information about the research
