What is the Global History Network?
The IEEE Global History Network (GHN) is a website dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of innovation in the history of electrical, electronic, and computer technologies and allied disciplines. The wiki-based site is designed for the public to browse and for IEEE members from around the world to populate it with their experience, knowledge, and insights. The IEEE GHN will also invite professional historians to share their interpretations of the processes of technological change and innovation. In time, the site will serve as a central historical repository of all the achievements, ideas, and first-hand knowledge of IEEE members, societies, councils and technical communities. It also will also provide a central location for all materials related to IEEE’s organizational history.
