Benefits of Membership

Membership in the Society for the History of Technology connects you to some fifteen hundred like-minded individuals in thirty-five countries, professionals and academics who range across dozens of fields and disciplines.

Members receive:

  • Four issues of Technology and Culture, published by Johns Hopkins University Press, the preeminent journal in the field, which features research, reviews, and criticism spanning the full spectrum of writing on the history of technology
  • SHOT's E-Newsletter (paper edition upon request) which contains information about Society activities and news about its members
  • Special member registration rates for the SHOT annual meeting, an international conference that brings together the best new scholarship in every field in the history of technology
  • Individual (not institutional) members may also access the History of Science, Technology and Medicine online bibliography, which describes journal articles, conference proceedings, books, book reviews, and dissertations in the history of science, technology, and medicine and allied historical fields. The HSTM bibliography integrates the Isis Current Bibliography of the History of Science (1976-present) and the Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (Technology and Culture, 1987-present). Content is updated quarterly.

Plus, your membership supports the broader intellectual and social mission of the society:

  • To publish the best international scholarship in the history of technology, in print and online, through Technology and Culture and the new open-access initiative eTC
  • To foster interdisciplinary conversation and cooperation among historians of technology and technology professionals, through its annual meeting and other efforts, such as the society's various special interest groups, the Technology and Culture Forum, and on-line social networking initiatives.
  • To encourage and support new scholarship in the history of technology through an extensive program of grants and awards
  • To disseminate news of interest to those interested in the history of technology, through the quarterly newsletter and the online clearinghouse shotnews.net
