Abstract
‘I believe we shall advance in our mastery over the records we create, rendering them easier to consult by means which would now seem strange and bizarre to us’ Bush, 1967 (1)
The period from the mid 1980s has seen significant growth in hypertext as a coherent research area and in its impact on the general public. Many issues are only becoming apparent as researchers attempt to meet the requirements for long term industrial strength hypermedia applications deployed in real world situations. The papers in Hypermedia and The New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia present an abridged history of this period of rapid development in the subject. This paper attempts to provide a broad review of some of the contributions to knowledge and general trends that can be identified from among the many papers published.
