*Archives of IT is organising a one-day academic-practitioner forum on the Histories of the Internet in January 2024 and we are now looking for proposals for papers and discussions. *

**

*Deadline for Proposed Abstracts is 9am, Monday 29 May**
*
The forum will be hosted at the Livery Hall of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists in Central London with space for 50 participants and the opportunity for more to join online.
   It would be great if you would be personally interested in participating and we hope you could share this information with your network and alert anyone you think would benefit from the opportunity to propose a session.

*More about the Forum
*The forum is designed to:

• foster more critical, multidisciplinary perspectives on the history of computers, telecommunications, the internet, and related digital media;
• illuminate how people, policies, initiatives and other social factors have shaped and are shaping technological developments;
• feature talks and panels identifying a variety of competing perspectives on innovations or other key events in the history of information and communication technologies

*Calling for Abstracts of Proposed Papers**
*We are now calling for abstracts of proposed papers that will bring together the insights gained from historical perspectives on the internet technologies and applications in education, civil society, business, industry, politics and government.

Their aim will be to explore what can be learned from these histories and how historical perspectives can support future research, policy and practice for a network society.

*Abstracts of proposed papers should be between 300-600 words and sent to
**forum at archivesit.org.uk <mailto:forum at archivesit.org.uk>**. The deadline is 9am, Monday 29 May.**
*
Those whose abstracts of proposed papers are accepted will be asked to provide a full paper, between 3,000 to 7,000 words, a month before the event.
