The site, in 1997
A database that traces mathematicians back through their doctoral advisors and students.
It began because founder Harry Coonce wanted to know who his advisor's advisor was. By September 2025 it held 334,029 mathematical scientists, and it lists Newton and Lagrange even though they had no doctorates.
In 1997: Went online that autumn at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where Coonce taught.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
