2026 Committee Search

Beginning in 2026, the IT History Society is inviting enthusiastic members to participate in a new set of standing committees. These committees are where much of the Society's work will take shape. New teams will manage every aspect from curation and publishing to events, membership, and stewardship. We welcome individuals who are eager to contribute their perspective, experience, and energy.

Preference for academic or commercial experience, but we also welcome anyone with integrity, enthusiasm, and a passion for our mission.
