2014 </b><br>
<br>
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.<br>

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.<br>
