Print PageIEEE History Center: 2007 IEEE Conference on the History of Electric Power
The IEEE History Committee and the IEEE History Center, cosponsored by IEEE and by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, announce the latest in their regular series of conferences: The 2007 IEEE Conference on the History of Electric Power. The conference was held on the campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark, New Jersey, USA, from Friday 3 August through Sunday 5 August 2007. The New Jersey Institute of Technology was a perfect venue for such a conference: Home to the Edward Weston Papers, it is close to the Edison National Historic Site, which is undergoing major renovation and is soon to reopen. The site is convenient by public transportation to the New York area airports and to New York City. Conference papers dealt with all aspects of electric power and its applications from the 19th century to the present. A congenial group of some 65 engineers, historians, museum curators, and others, dozens of fascinating papers, plenty of time for informal discussion, and some interesting excursions. The conference was technically cosponsored by the IEEE Power Engineering Society, the IEEE North Jersey Section, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Additional information will be posted on the IEEE History Center Website at www.ieee.org/history_center. Kindly note that the papers from the Conference will appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
