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.

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. 2014 Prize Committee Members Rebecca Slayton: Lecturer in Public Policy, Stanford University, 616 Serra Street, Stanford, CA 94305-6055. rslayton@stanford.edu David Nofre (chair): Research Affiliate, Centre d'Estudis d'Història de la Ciència at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
