  • The Society for the History of Technology, or SHOT, is the primary professional society for historians of technology. Founded in 1958, its flagship publication is the journal Technology and Culture. SHOT is an affiliate of the American Historical Association and publishes a joint booklet series with the AHA, Historical Perspectives on Technology, Society, and Culture, under the editorship of Dr. Pamela Long and Dr. Robert Post. The history of technology was traditionally linked to economic history and history of science, but now its strongest interactions are with environmental history, gender history, business history, and labor history. SHOT annually awards two book prizes, the Edelstein Prize and the Hacker Prize, as well as the Kranzberg Dissertation Fellowship and the Brooke Hindle Postdoctoral Fellowship. Its highest award is the Leonardo Da Vinci Medal. SHOT owes its existence largely to the efforts of Professor Melvin Kranzberg. Ten years later, Professor Kranzberg was also instrumental in the founding of a sister society, the International Committee for the History of Technology in 1968. The two societies complement each other.
  • Die internationale Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) (Gesellschaft für die Geschichte der Technik) erforscht die Technikgeschichte, besonders in ihren Wechselbeziehungen zu Wirtschaft, Politik und Kultur. Mit Sitz am Department of Science, Technology and Society der University of Virginia ist SHOT die erste internationale Gesellschaft für Technikgeschichte. Sie bildet gewissermaßen die Dachorganisation der verschiedenen technikhistorischen Gemeinschaften, die oftmals Mitglied bei der SHOT sind. Zur Förderung der Technikgeschichte publiziert die Gesellschaft unter anderem das vierteljährlich erscheinende Journal Technology and Culture und vergibt zahlreiche Stipendien, Preise und Auszeichnungen.
