There's an interesting report from the History of Science Society 
that looks at the question of how historians of science, as opposed 
to scientists in various disciplines, need to be represented in 
efforts to make decisions about the curation and retention of 
research data, using the context of the recent US Federal government 
efforts to open up government-produced and government-funded research 
data. This is an important topic that has had very little in-depth 
investigation to date, as far as I am aware.

The report is at:

My thanks to Joyce Ogburn at Appalachian State University for 
bringing this report to my attention.
