The Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) was formed in 1958 and is dedicated to the historical study of technology and its relations with politics, economics, labor, business, the environment, public policy, science, and the arts. SHOT includes almost 2000 individual members and 1500 institutional subscribers. An international society, SHOT meets annually in North America or Europe and also jointly sponsors smaller conferences focused on more specialized topics of common interest with other scholarly societies and organizations. Technology and Culture, a quarterly journal, is published by The Johns Hopkins University Press on behalf of the Society for the History of Technology. SHOT's Current Bibliography in the History of Technology is also published as part of Technology and Culture.
