Development Committee (Major Gifts)

The Development Committee is responsible for securing the financial support necessary to sustain and grow the Information Technology History Society. Using the term “development” in its nonprofit sense, this committee focuses on building relationships with individuals and institutions capable of making significant contributions, and on communicating ITHS’s mission and plans in a clear, compelling way.

Infrastructure Committee

The Infrastructure Committee is responsible for the technical foundations that enable ITHS to operate reliably, securely, and sustainably. This committee manages the Society’s internal technology and digital assets, ensuring that systems are maintained, access is controlled, and risks are minimized. This empowers other committees to focus on mission, content, and community.

Editorial Committee

The Editorial Committee is responsible for shaping how the Information Technology History Society communicates with the world. This includes: what we publish, where we publish it, and how our voice reflects our mission and values. The draft framework outlined below is intended as a starting point, not a mandate.

Mission & Values

Our mission is to preserve and share the untold stories of the computing industry.

We aim to identify overlooked contributors, trace the genealogy of ideas, and capture living memory into a structured, searchable record.

Background of the IT History Society

IT History Society, Inc. traces its organizational heritage to 1977. Over time, the organization's identity and programs have evolved to meet the changing needs of the IT history community—first by supporting scholarship and archival preservation, later by expanding outreach and collaboration, and more recently by experimenting with large-scale online reference resources. As we enter the AI era, we are again refining our mission and the ways we engage members and the public.

Curation Committee

In 2026, IT History Society, Inc. intends to form a small Database Curation Committee to help guide a structured review of the Society’s database and its long-term role in our evolving mission.

Honor Roll Committee

In 2026, IT History Society, Inc. intends to reconstitute the Honor Roll Committee to guide the identification, research, and recognition of individuals whose contributions to information technology have been historically significant, but are sometimes under-documented, misunderstood, or overlooked.
