It might be worth while to ponder the fact that our work is part of a larger enterprise, namely the history of science in all places at all times. I would like to dwell on a simple idea, namely that there is a research frontier, a state of the art, in the history of science. I want to remind you that if we are not aware of it, it will not be aware of us. Let us, then, scout the three borders of the history of science as it is now practiced: first the border with scientific practice, then the border with history and philosophy, and then the border with the social sciences, mainly anthropology and sociology. As we survey each border region, let us see how well it is populated by scholars of Chinese science, technology, and medicine, and think about what the outcome suggests.

Who were the doctors in traditional China? What were their social origins? What was their status? Students of the social history of Chinese medicine agree on the importance of these and similar questions, but the work of finding answers is just getting under way. It is already obvious that one cannot expect answers that will be true of all times. places, and levels of society. The need to paint a more complicated picture than the one usual in histories of medicine emerges from the pathbreaking work ·of Joseph Needham, Nathan Sivin, and others.2 But the best recent work on the history of medicine does not reflect a shared understanding of what the major transformations were and when they took place. Needham, in an article that was the first serious approach to the problem in any Western language, saw a gradual transformation in the status of doctors during Chinese history:

The Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) is now located permanently in a splendid facility in Tarrytown, New York. It was established there in 1975, two years after the Rockefeller Foundation first opened its archives to researchers. These archives contain rich, unique data on the development of natural science education and research in China from 1913 to 1949. A few scholars have already used these archival sources to some extent in their studies of modern medical edu· cation and clinical practice in China, and of the growth of health care policy and practice during the Republican period (1911-1949). Others interested in that period are just beginning to exploit the archives for what they reveal about the natural sciences and their institutions. In this description and evaluation of the archives, I want to give the reader a practical sense of what they contain for the student of the history of science or of China, how they have thus far been used, and how they might be used in the future. It is essential first to consider the institutions and historical situations which generated the materials in the archives. These situations evoke the larger cultural processes for which the archives provide fragmentary evidence, and suggest questions one might ask of the archival materials.
