This article summarizes the findings of the contributions collected in the special issue "The Technology of Information, Communication, and Administration-An Entwined History" dedicated to the accelerated mechanization and the later digitization of administrative information processing in the 20th century. It develops a conceptual framework around the notions of administration, process, information, media, and power that allow for situating the contributions within the broad field of interaction spanned by the materiality of hybrid administrative processes and the ideological dynamics in society. It suggests promising lines of research for further studies in the history of administration and information.
