What is it about?
Developing more familiarity with the traditional knowledge and stories of collaborating disciplines at an introductory, common-sense level provides a foundation for developing deeper interdisciplinary collaborations. While there might be a number of ways to accomplish this, we share four brief, historical narratives describing significant past and current collaborations between anthropology and computer science.

Why is it important?
Interdisciplinary collaboration improves problem solving by bringing diverse perspectives to a given problem. Sharing narratives of past and present collaborations can help build interdisciplinary lore to ground future collaborations.
Perspectives
I hope this article aids other types of interdisciplinary teams beyond our examples of collaborations between HCI and Anthropology.
