This encyclopedia will be a work of history, not a technical or scientific reference. Articles will not explain how the technology actually works (except, perhaps, very briefly and in a non-technical manner to demonstrate the originality or ingenuity behind the technology); rather, articles will examine each invention’s origins, development, and use, its influence in shaping society and civilization, and how it transformed history. The encyclopedia is intended for general audiences, and thus I am not looking for specialized articles. Each article will be between 1,500-3,000 words in length.

If you would like to contribute to this encyclopedia, please send me a statement of interest, a brief c.v./resume or biography describing your qualifications, and a small writing sample. Each entry will be signed with the author's name, and I will be able to pay a small honorarium for each article you write.
