The Society for the History of Technology 2001 Dibner Award for Excellence
in Museum Exhibits. SHOT invites nominations for its Dibner Award,
established in 1985 to recognize excellence in museums and museum exhibits
that interpret the history of technology, industry, and engineering to the
general public. Winning exhibits, in addition to being well designed and
produced, should raise pertinent historical issues. Artifacts and images
should be used in a manner that interests, teaches, and stimulates both the
general public and historians. Also, entire institutions, rather than just
exhibits, may be considered for this award. The winners will be announced at
the Society's Annual Meeting in San Jose, CA October 4-7, 2001. The Award
consists of a plaque and up to $1000.00 to cover expenses for a member of
the design team to accept the award at the SHOT awards banquet. The Society
especially encourages nominations from local and regional historical
societies. Anyone, including the institution or individual responsible for
its creation, may nominate an exhibit for the Dibner Award within two years
of the exhibit's opening. Nominations should include a nomination form with
names of possible reviewers and materials that will assist the committee in
evaluating the exhibition or museum (exhibit script, related publications,
slides or a videotape). All materials will be retained by SHOT for archival
purposes. The deadline for nominations is 1 February 2001. To request a
nomination form or obtain more information see the SHOT web site:
