Connecting Technology’s Peripheries Organizer : Joshua Grace, University of South Carolina, USA To propose a paper for this panel , contact gracejr@mailbox.sc.edu Borrowing inspiration from John Staudenmaier’s T echnology’s Storytellers , this session will examine the stories about technology that are less commonly told at SHOT or in the history of technology more broadly.

Dear all, Just a brief reminder that the deadline for the next round of research grants from the Scientific Instrument Society (SIS) is Sunday 1st March 2015. The SIS awards small grants, of up to £500 each, for research on the history of scientific instruments. Applicants do not need to have any institutional affiliation and applications that are for less than the full amount are just as welcome - a properly costed proposal with a clear relevance to the Society's interests in historic scientific instruments, a realistic timetable and a tangible result are the most important factors that the committee will be considering.  Please note that the grant awarded will be paid against actual expenditure and funds cannot be paid in advance.  The grant is intended to cover items such as travel, accommodation (excluding meals) and photocopying costs.  Please note that we cannot fund conference travel. Further information on what the Society can support and the...
