Current Projects Funded by ITHS
ITHS (including its predecessor organization CBF) has not generally
carried out projects itself but has instead played a supporting
and enabling role to other individuals and organizations by providing
financial support, arranging access to records and individuals,
or helping with publicity. The two notable exceptions to
this practice were to work with Symantec on its 25th anniversary,
and to work with the Computer History Museum and the Software
History Center as an active partner in the Corporate History
Project. ITHS involvement in both of those projects is
now complete.
Current ITHS policy is to not undertake historical projects,
for ITHS does not want to compete with other individuals and
organizations working in the IT history field. Instead, ITHS
aims to enable other individuals and institutions working in
the IT history area. The only ongoing example of programmatic
effort by ITHS is to organize an annual conference - and the
primary purpose for these conferences is to help to build a sense
of community and provide a place for IT history practitioners
to address issues of common concern.
ITHS is currently focusing on building content on its website
and building membership, and there are no outside projects being
funded by ITHS at this time. |
