Colleagues,

Nominations are now open for the Society for the History of Technology’s 2023 Martha Trescott Prize.


Martha Trescott was one of the pioneering spirits behind Women in Technological History (WITH). She wished to honor Frances McConnell Moore, Carroll Pursell, and Edwin T. Layton, Jr., with this prize. The Martha Trescott Prize will be given annually for the best published essay in one of two areas. In even-numbered years (2022, 2024), the prize will be awarded to an outstanding published historical essay in the area of women in technology. In odd-numbered years (2023, 2025), the prize will be awarded to an outstanding published essay in the area of social responsibility of engineers in history. This year (2023) the winning essay will be in the area of social responsibility of engineers in history.  (https://www.historyoftechnology.org/about-us/awards-prizes-and-grants/martha-trescott-prize/)


Essays published in any of the four years preceding the award will be eligible; that is, for the 2023 prize, eligible essays were published in 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022. “Published essay” is understood to be a scholarly article, chapter in a published book, or other “long-form” essay contribution. Either a colleague or the author may nominate an essay for the prize.

The award will consist of a $500 check and a certificate. Winners will be honored at the Society’s awards banquet.

To nominate an essay for the prize, please submit nomination materials to the established prize portal: https://shotsecretariat.wufoo.com/forms/zssn4u90b3jq83/. A valid nomination will include a complete citation to the published essay, a scanned or downloaded PDF copy of the essay, and a brief 100-200-word description of its worthiness for this year’s prize. The deadline for nominations is April 30, 2023.

The 2023 Martha Trescott Prize will be awarded to an outstanding published essay in the area of social responsibility of engineers in history.
