Abstract
The 4th International Symposium on the History of Particle Physics spanned two decades, from approximately 1980 to 2000. In this opening keynote lecture, I survey developments in particle physics from the prehistory of the discovery to the early nineteen-eighties. I offer context for the contributions that follow in the symposium program.
