| Abstract: |
The first three iterations of the ACM Hypertext conference were highly popular, drawing a diverse audience of researchers and practitioners experimenting with hypertext systems before the arrival of the World Wide Web. While the rise of the Web has often been seen as a disruptive event in the history of hypertext, in this paper I argue that if we focus on the intersection between digital publishing and hypertext, there are stronger continuities. Through archival research into early participants of the Hypertext conferences including Ben Shneiderman and Michael Joyce, I recover some of these lost connections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
