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.
