*REMINDER - Computer History Museum Prize 2014: Deadline, 15 May 2014 *

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 $1,000 is awarded
by SIGCIS, the Special Interest Group for Computers, Information and
Society. SIGCIS is part of the Society for the History of Technology.
Books published in 2011-2013 are eligible for the 2014 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 May 2014.

Current information about the prize, including the most recent call and
a list of previous winners, may always be found at
http://www.sigcis.org/chmprize.

In 2012 the prize was endowed in perpetuity through a generous bequest
from the estate of Paul Baran, a legendary computer innovator and
entrepreneur best known for his work to develop and promote the packet
switching approach on which modern networks are built. Baran was a
long-time supporter of work on the history of information technology and
named the prize to celebrate the contributions of the Computer History
Museum to that field.
