本书介绍了家族史在地球仪上的兴起及其对文化、生物医学和技术的国际影响。它介绍了来自美国，加拿大，巴西，欧洲，澳大利亚和印度的跨学科学者在过去三年中进行国际合作的贡献。它认为，公共历史学家需要认真对待家庭史的实践，所有学者都可以从其合作，综合，国际实践中学习。我们有压倒性的证据表明，需要分散和困扰现有历史学术的欧洲中心主义。这期特刊为我们过去三年来关于家族史的对话提供了一个平台，并鼓励其他人加入进来。
This introduction charts the rise of family history across the globe and its international impact upon culture, biomedicine, and technology. It introduces the contributions to this special issue from interdisciplinary scholars based in the US, Canada, Brazil, Europe, Australia and India that have collaborated internationally over the past three years. It argues that public historians need to take the practice of family history seriously and that all scholars can learn from its collaborative, integrated, international practice. We are presented with overwhelming evidence of the need to decentralize and trouble the Eurocentrism of existing historical scholarship. This special issue provides a platform for the conversations we have been having about family history over the past three years and encourages others to join in.
