About SIGCIS
Founded in the mid-1980s, SIGCIS is the leading international group for historians with an interest in the history of information technology and its applications. Our primary activities include meetings help in connection with our parent society, the Society for the History of Technology [SHOT].
Since 2009, SIGCIS has organized a full day workshop with multiple streams of programming in conjunction with the annual meeting of SHOT.
We also host an annual fundraising lunch as part of the annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology. We give out multiple awards, including the Computer History Museum Prize, for an outstanding book on the history of computing, and the Mahoney Prize, for an outstanding article on the history of computing.
The SIGCIS website holds a variety of electronic resources, including guides to the History of Computing literature, a selection of work contributed by members, a growing collection of syllabi in the field, and pages describing our book prize, travel grants, and fund raising activities. Visit www.sigcis.org for more information.
