Hi all,

 

This is an open call for nominations of articles for the 2022 Mahoney Prize.

 

The Mahoney Prize recognizes an outstanding article in the history of computing and information technology, broadly conceived. The Mahoney Prize commemorates the late Princeton scholar Michael S. Mahoney, whose profound contributions to the history of computing came from his many articles and book chapters. The prize consists of a $500 award and a certificate. For the 2022 prize, articles published in the preceding three years (2019, 2020, and 2021) are eligible for nomination. The Mahoney Prize is awarded by the Special Interest Group in Computers, Information, and Society (SIGCIS) and is presented during the annual meeting of our parent group, the Society for the History of Technology.

 

More information – including on previous winning entries -- is available at https://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize

 

Copies of nominated articles should be emailed to all 4 members of the Prize committee by 7 May 2022. Committee members’ emails are listed at the above URL.

 

Regards,

 

Melanie
