This brief introduction to the special issue on historical sociolinguistics tells the story of how this project came about. Our major goals have been to highlight work in this still new subfield of linguistics, especially with an eye to increasing the range of languages and areas covered and increasing the time depth of research into historical sociolinguistics. We sketch how we see each contribution helping us reach those goals.
