SPRINGERBRIEFS IN HISTORY OF COMPUTING UNDERS...

Microhistory is a technique that has been used effectively by writers of both fiction and
nonfiction. It enables the author to cut through the complexities of large swaths of history by
focusing on a particular time and place. Microhistories are particularly useful in historical
study when a subfield has recently arisen and there are not yet enough monographic studies from
which to draw general patterns. This microhistory focuses on a single year (1920) across the
United States  with the goal of understanding the various roles of information in this society.
It gives greater emphasis to the informational aspects of traditional historical topics such as
farming  government bureaucracy  the Spanish flu pandemic  and Prohibition  and it gives
greater attention to information-rich topics such as libraries and museums  schools and
colleges  the financial services and office machinery industries  scientific research
institutions  and management consultancies.
