Mission and programs · 2024

• Academic Research Journal Publication. Published four issues of our academic journal (regularly since the 1950s), the leading international publication in our discipline of the history of technology, containing the latest peer-reviewed scholarship in our field, plus book reviews, essays, visual material, and more.

  Expenses $198,556 · Revenue $188,432

• Annual Research Conference. Held our regularly-scheduled annual conference (meeting for the first time ever in South America), organizing and running six days of meetings in Vina del Mar, Chile, where members presented research papers and discussed teaching; where members had a chance to hear about and inspect the latest books and other publications in our field; where students and new scholars met with senior colleagues and got feedback on their work.

  Expenses $81,766 · Revenue $112,048

• Awards for Disciplinary Excellence. Selected winners of SHOT's fourteen regular awards, prizes, and fellowships for excellence in research; awarded several dozen travel grants to US and international scholars to support their presentations of their research at our conference; hosted other programs to encourage and recognize good work in our discipline.

  Expenses $55,919 · Grants $26,838 · Revenue $10,860

As filed on the 2024 return.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
