The History Committee, a committee of the IEEE Board of Directors, is responsible for promoting the collection, writing, and dissemination of historical information in the fields covered by IEEE technical and professional activities, as well as historical information about IEEE and its predecessor organizations. It provides assistance to all major IEEE organizational units and provides information and recommendations to the IEEE Board of Directors. The History Committee also reviews nominations for IEEE Milestones, books submitted for the J&W Middleton Electrical Engineering History Award, and applications for the Life Member’s Fellowship in Electrical History.
