Journal of the History of the Behavorial Sciences 32.4 (Fall '96) will be 
a special issue on Durkheimian Sociology, including papers on Durkheim's 
legacy regarding Statistics, Human Nature, Sociology of Knowledge, and 
other themes central to economic thought or to writing its history.  
 
FHHS has no web page.  The History of Science Society (HSS) has a web page 
limited to official society announcements, including a description of the 
society and its publications:
