Hello SIGCIS members, Please find below the call for our flagship award, the Computer History Museum prize. Books from 2008, 2009 and 2010 are eligible this year. The committee has confirmed that for renomination of books submitted last year (and published 2008 or 2009) there is no need to send new copies to all 3 members. Just post a copy to Jonathan Coopersmith (who we are delighted to have as the new juror) and emails to the two continuing members. Best wishes, Tom Haigh 2011 Call for Submissions, Computer History Museum Prize 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.
