[Commlist] Pamela Laird Travel Award

The Mercurians, SHOT special interest group for history of 
communications, is now accepting applications for the Pamela Laird 
Travel Award.  The Pamela Laird Travel Award helps defray the costs of 
travel and housing to use a research collection.

One of the Mercurians’ missions is to encourage scholarship in the 
history of communication technologies. The Mercurians Prize and 
Pamela Laird Travel Award help increase and raise the level of new 
scholarship in the field by new or junior scholars; that is, either 
current graduate students, or postgraduates who are no more than three 
years beyond receipt of the terminal degree in their field at the 
application deadline.
