I guess I'll just go with history of science for now.

As Barrie says below, historiography has its own word. But not many other names of sciences allow -graphy to be attached. You could say meta-science, which would be the "science of science", as in studying the practice of science in a scientific way, but that one's iffy, let alone with other words. | |
