The Society for the History of Technology 2005 Dibner Award
For Excellence in Museum Exhibits

The Society for the History of Technology 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.

The winners will be announced at the Society's Annual Meeting in
Minneapolis, November 3-6, 2005. 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. "Virtual" exhibits are not eligible for the award.

Anyone, including the institution or individual responsible for its
creation, may nominate an exhibit for the Dibner Award. Exhibits should
be currently on view and have opened within the past two years.

The deadline for nominations for the 2005 award will be February 15,
2005.
For information about the nominating procedure, please see the
