Let's try to locate it:
We know that David is at Warwick Univ. We can construct easily University's
web page according to this UK Univ. URLs format :

                http://www.[name].ac.uk

So, Warwick Univ. web page is at the location:

                http://www.warwick.ac.uk

In this page there is a search engine.

By using the keyword "fowler" we get, among other pages, David's one:

         http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/staff/dhf.html

Now, in this page there is a link to "papers":

         http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/maths/papers/dhf.html

where we find several links to David's math-history papers.

Enjoy!
