Special Citations Guidelines

From IEEE Milestones Wiki

IEEE Milestones Special Citation Program

The IEEE Special Citation in Electrical Engineering and Computing works within the IEEE Milestones Program, and is administered similarly. The proposal process is the same. In order to be proposed for an IEEE Special Citation in Electrical Engineering and Computing, a museum, archive, or other educational or cultural institution must have been open to the public for twenty-five years or more.

When proposing a special citation, please include the words “Special Citation” in the title of your proposal, e.g. “Museum of History of Electronics, Special Citation.” Please use a comma rather than a hyphen, colon, or semicolon in the title because the special characters affect the wiki code.


The plaque will read: CITATION IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTING

Here is an example of a citation plaque text awarded by the IEEE:


                                            CITATION IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTING

                                                    IEEE Special Citation Computer History Museum, 1979


The Computer History Museum's mission is to preserve and present for posterity the artifacts and stories of the Information Age. The museum houses the world's largest collection of computers and related software, documents, and visual media. Public exhibits celebrate the rich history of computing, aided by a speaker series, education activities, historical restorations, and research programs.
