Call for papers, American Historical Association
I saw this call from the AHA for papers about Artificial Intelligence.. Many of the topics suggested have been well-covered by members of SIGCIS, but perhaps the AHA membership is unaware of our (your) work. https://www.historians.org/news-publications/american-historical-review/how-to-submit/ai-in-historical-perspectives/?_zs=noama&_zl=gfLu4 Paul Ceruzzi
I agree. Can we ask our SIGCIS leaders to call the editor of the American Historical Review and discuss putting some structure around this interest by the AHA so it doesn't just publish haphazardly whatever someone wants to?

The AHA call is exciting. Thank you, Paul Ceruzzi, for alerting us. I have in mind to submit a proposal. My angle would be from economic history. I see similarities in the technological histories leading up to other breakthroughs, and the economic histories that follow them. The AI “shock” will match some of those. Economists writing about AI do make historical comparisons, and they’re not bad (I think), but sometimes they are too compressed or shallow. I like the idea of a little coordination and mutual education. Perhaps SIGCIS folks could have a joint video conversation in April or May to discuss potential submissions, get a sense of the idea landscape, and coordinate or coauthor if there is overlap. I will be happy to set up such a call, or attend if someone else organizes it. Anyone freely contact me if interested. — Peter B.

Hi Peter, Sounds great! If you like, take a look at the AHR History Lab webpage (link below) to get an idea of what they’re about / take a deeper dive into why they’re doing this outreach: "The History Lab launched in March 2022 as an experimental space driven by a single question: how can the AHR help reimagine the practice of history in the 21st century? The kinds of field-shaping interventions our authors make in the Lab involve collaborative projects designed to showcase transformative approaches to new methods and fields in history, to reinvigorate more familiar realms of historical study and to expand the public facing reach of our historical practices." Source: https://www.historians.org/news-publications/american-historical-review/ahr-... So it sounds like their CFP is really about how we think AI will change the practice of history. I’m an AHA member and have to say that AI is a huge stretch for their membership. Just look at past issues of AHR for articles and book reviews. There is basically nothing on the history of technology, computing, or science. Incredible scholarship, of course, but not centered on many of our concerns. That will be a challenge and an opportunity for writers. AHA’s motto is also CHM’s “unofficial” motto: “Everything Has a History.” :_) All the best, Dag ----- Dag Spicer Senior Curator Computer History Museum Editorial Board, IEEE Annals of the History of Computing ACM History Committee 1401 N.

I find this all interesting, as I smile. I have been an AHA member since 1969 and have published about a dozen books on technology and computing history with the kinds of presses whose books are reviewed in the AHR: Oxford, Princeton, MIT, and Columbia but the AHR never reviewed them. So, you are right the AHR has a loooong way to go to catch up with topics engaging more people some times than are subscribers. Besides technology topics there is the related subject area of information's history, but we can leave that for another day. So, let's help wherever possible.

Hi everyone - I don’t believe the AHR needs us to coach them on the call. I can give them a heads up about SIGCIS literatures. AI is such an amorphous subject. Speaking of our role in history. What do you all think about SIGCIS finally drafting a statement against the ongoing genocide in Palestine and now the US-Israeli imperial war on Iran? Given that we are witnesses to these atrocities, and scholars of how the military machinery works, I believe together we can write a powerful and lasting statement as computing historians.

I am in support of the statement that Theodora proposes here, and would be happy to help draft such an anti-war statement through the lens of computer history. On Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 7:01 PM Theodora J Dryer via Members < members@lists.sigcis.org> wrote:
Hi everyone - I don’t believe the AHR needs us to coach them on the call. I can give them a heads up about SIGCIS literatures. AI is such an amorphous subject.
Speaking of our role in history. What do you all think about SIGCIS finally drafting a statement against the ongoing genocide in Palestine and now the US-Israeli imperial war on Iran?
Given that we are witnesses to these atrocities, and scholars of how the military machinery works, I believe together we can write a powerful and lasting statement as computing historians.
Thank you,

Hi Peter,
Sounds great!
If you like, take a look at the *AHR History Lab* webpage (link below) to get an idea of what they’re about / take a deeper dive into why they’re doing this outreach:
"The History Lab launched in March 2022 as an experimental space driven by a single question: how can the AHR help reimagine the practice of history in the 21st century? The kinds of field-shaping interventions our authors make in the Lab involve collaborative projects designed to showcase transformative approaches to new methods and fields in history, to reinvigorate more familiar realms of historical study and to expand the public facing reach of our historical practices."

So it sounds like their CFP is really about how we think AI* will change the practice of history.*
I’m an AHA member and have to say that AI is a huge stretch for their membership. Just look at past issues of AHR for articles and book reviews. There is basically nothing on the history of technology, computing, or science. Incredible scholarship, of course, but not centered on many of our concerns. That will be a challenge and an opportunity for writers.
AHA’s motto is also CHM’s “unofficial” motto: “Everything Has a History.”

I am in support of the statement that Theodora proposes here, and would be happy to help draft such an anti-war statement through the lens of computer history.

Speaking of our role in history. What do you all think about SIGCIS finally drafting a statement against the ongoing genocide in Palestine and now the US-Israeli imperial war on Iran?
Given that we are witnesses to these atrocities, and scholars of how the military machinery works, I believe together we can write a powerful and lasting statement as computing historians.
Thank you, Theodora

I have been an AHA member since 1969 and have published about a dozen books on technology and computing history with the kinds of presses whose books are reviewed in the AHR: Oxford, Princeton, MIT, and Columbia but the AHR never reviewed them. So, you are right the AHR has a loooong way to go to catch up with topics engaging more people some times than are subscribers. Besides technology topics there is the related subject area of information's history, but we can leave that for another day. So, let's help wherever possible. Jim Cortada

Sounds great!
If you like, take a look at the AHR History Lab webpage (link below) to get an idea of what they’re about / take a deeper dive into why they’re doing this outreach:
"The History Lab launched in March 2022 as an experimental space driven by a single question: how can the AHR help reimagine the practice of history in the 21st century? The kinds of field-shaping interventions our authors make in the Lab involve collaborative projects designed to showcase transformative approaches to new methods and fields in history, to reinvigorate more familiar realms of historical study and to expand the public facing reach of our historical practices."

So it sounds like their CFP is really about how we think AI will change the practice of history.
I’m an AHA member and have to say that AI is a huge stretch for their membership. Just look at past issues of AHR for articles and book reviews. There is basically nothing on the history of technology, computing, or science. Incredible scholarship, of course, but not centered on many of our concerns. That will be a challenge and an opportunity for writers.
AHA’s motto is also CHM’s “unofficial” motto: “Everything Has a History.”

The AHA call is exciting. Thank you, Paul Ceruzzi, for alerting us.
I have in mind to submit a proposal. My angle would be from economic history. I see similarities in the technological histories leading up to other breakthroughs, and the economic histories that follow them. The AI “shock” will match some of those. Economists writing about AI do make historical comparisons, and they’re not bad (I think), but sometimes they are too compressed or shallow.
I like the idea of a little coordination and mutual education. Perhaps SIGCIS folks could have a joint video conversation in April or May to discuss potential submissions, get a sense of the idea landscape, and coordinate or coauthor if there is overlap. I will be happy to set up such a call, or attend if someone else organizes it. Anyone freely contact me if interested. — Peter B.

Hi everyone, The SIGCIS Exec would like to propose that such a discussion about issuing a political statement take place during our meeting in June. We feel it would be the most productive way to have a conversation as a community and draft a statement. For those interested, we would work to locate a room for the discussion for both in-person and hybrid meeting attendees (hybrid attendees are only asked for a donation to register). Let me know what you think and if you'd like to join such a discussion, please reply to me so we can get a sense of attendance.

I’m an AHA member and have to say that AI is a huge stretch for their membership. Just look at past issues of AHR for articles and book reviews. There is basically nothing on the history of technology, computing, or science. Incredible scholarship, of course, but not centered on many of our concerns. That will be a challenge and an opportunity for writers.

The AHA call is exciting. Thank you, Paul Ceruzzi, for alerting us.
I have in mind to submit a proposal. My angle would be from economic history. I see similarities in the technological histories leading up to other breakthroughs, and the economic histories that follow them. The AI “shock” will match some of those. Economists writing about AI do make historical comparisons, and they’re not bad (I think), but sometimes they are too compressed or shallow.
I like the idea of a little coordination and mutual education. Perhaps SIGCIS folks could have a joint video conversation in April or May to discuss potential submissions, get a sense of the idea landscape, and coordinate or coauthor if there is overlap. I will be happy to set up such a call, or attend if someone else organizes it. Anyone freely contact me if interested. — *Peter B.

I see similarities in the technological histories leading up to other breakthroughs, and the economic histories that follow them. The AI “shock” will match some of those. Economists writing about AI do make historical comparisons, and they’re not bad (I think), but sometimes they are too compressed or shallow.
I like the idea of a little coordination and mutual education. Perhaps SIGCIS folks could have a joint video conversation in April or May to discuss potential submissions, get a sense of the idea landscape, and coordinate or coauthor if there is overlap. I will be happy to set up such a call, or attend if someone else organizes it. Anyone freely contact me if interested. — *Peter B.

I agree. Can we ask our SIGCIS leaders to call the editor of the American Historical Review and discuss putting some structure around this interest by the AHA so it doesn't just publish haphazardly whatever someone wants to? Jim Cortada

I saw this call from the AHA for papers about Artificial Intelligence.. Many of the topics suggested have been well-covered by members of SIGCIS, but perhaps the AHA membership is unaware of our (your) work.
