Interest in Weather and Meteorology

I am currently working on a chapter about meteorology and disease in nineteenth-century Britain, and I am wondering if there is anyone else who is interested in or working on the history of weather and meteorology. This can include anything from literary and visual representations of the weather to the development of meteorology as a science. I am hoping that if there is enough interest in this topic I can organize a group where we can exchange our ideas, and perhaps even have a symposium or conference.

Not really my field, but if you're not familiar you should check out James Fleming's work: http://www.colby.edu/profile/jfleming/

Best,

Hello Brian,

I apologize for taking so long to respond. Thank you for the reference and link. If you know of anyone else who may be working on weather and meteorology, please direct them this way. I am hoping that if enough people show interest in this topic, I can organize a symposium where they would be able to present their work. Thanks again for your reply.
