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. </p><p style="text-align: justify;" class="">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 longtime 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. </p><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class="">Many thanks,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Andy </div><br class=""><br class=""><div class="">
