Hello everyone, The 2014 call for submissions for our Computer History Museum book prize is online at http://www.sigcis.org/chmprize and pasted below. Please spread the word. Also remember that there is a three year window, so even if you nominated a book without success last year it could well pay off to resubmit it. This window this year is for books with first publication in English in 2011, 2012, or 2013. We are particularly glad that last year’s winner, Joe November, has agreed to join the jury this year. Please address any questions to this year’s chair, David Nofre. Tom. Computer History Museum Prize 2014 Call for Submissions 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 For more information, please contact the prize committee chair. 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 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. 2014 Prize Committee Members Rebecca Slayton: Lecturer in Public Polic, 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.
