What level of scientific training is necessary to understand contemporary science? Does the lack of historical perspective prevent good scholarship? This text answers these questions.
More than ninety percent of all scientific history has been made during the last half century. So far, however, only a fraction of historical scholarship has dealt with this period. Merely a decade ago, most scientific historians considered recent science - the scientific culture created, lived and remembered by contemporary scientists - an area of study best left to the historical actors themselves.

Who will sort out the hundred or more Paul Ehrlichs? remarks on the historiography of recent and contemporary technoscience; knowledge of the brain - the visualizing tools of contemporary historiography; recent science later-modern and post-modern; who's afraid of the history of contemporary science?; whigs, prigs and politics - problems in the historiography of contemporary science; electric memories and progressive forgetting.
