The main aim and objective of the Commission for the History of Ancient and Medieval Astronomy is to bring under its purview research in the astronomical heritage of all cultural areas of the world. As historians of science, we know that astronomy was the most significant science during the ancient and medieval period. The majority of the world historians of astronomy are expert not only of astronomy, but they are also scholars of classical languages: Chinese, Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic and Persian etc., in the sources of which enormous amount of astronomical data is locked in. For these historians of astronomy particularly a forum is required, so that its members could interact among themselves, and acquaint themselves particularly with the work-in-progress of their colleagues.
