BSHS Ayrton Prize - shortlist and voting

The BSHS has a new prize for digital projects and has just announced a shortlist of six excellent projects.

The Ayrton Prize recognises outstanding web projects and digital engagement in the history of science, technology and medicine. The prize name was chosen by members of the BSHS from a shortlist to recognize the major contributions of Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923) to numerous scientific fields, especially electrical engineering and mathematics, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The shortlist was compiled by members of the BSHS’s Outreach and Education Committee and reflect the broad range of entries.
