[SIGCIS-Members] Call for Submissions -- SIGCIS Computer History Museum Prize

[Thomas Haigh]

Hello everyone,

Please find below the call for nominations for our history of computing book
prize. Last year’s went to Christophe Lecuyer for Inventing Silicon Valley.
There’s a nice write up in the CBI newsletter:
http://www.cbi.umn.edu/newsletter/article3.html. 

Jen Light is chair of the prize committee this year, and Pierre Mounier-Kuhn
joins the committee to replace Paul Ceruzzi. Tom Misa is now in his final
year on the panel. Thanks to all of them for their service to SIGCIS. Jen
has told me that to renominate a book submitted last year you or your
publisher need send only ONE additional copy, to Pierre Mounier-Kuhn as the
new committee member.

$1000 and a certificate could be yours!

Tom

THE 2010 CHM PRIZE CALL

The Computer History Museum Prize is awarded to the author of an outstanding
book in the history of computing broadly conceived, published during the
prior three years. The prize of $1000 is awarded by SIGCIS, the Special
Interest Group for Computers, Information and Society. It is established
through the generosity of an anonymous donor who wishes to honor the
Computer History Museum. SIGCIS is part of the Society for the History of
Technology.

Books published in 2007-2009 are now eligible for the 2010 award. Books in
translation are eligible for three years following the date of their
publication in English. Publishers, authors, and other interested members of
the computer history community are invited to nominate books. Send one copy
of the nominated title to each of the committee members listed below. To be
considered, book submissions must be postmarked by 15 April 2010. For more
information, please contact the prize committee chair.

Current information about the prize may always be found at
