About HISTELCON
HISTELCON (HISTory of ELectro-technology CONference) refers to a series of historical symposia sponsored by IEEE Region 8 that aims to to serve as catalyst for exchange of ideas on engineering and technology history within Region 8 (though from a broader global perspective) from different technological fields. Participants with different backgrounds – engineers, historians, researchers in Science, Technology and Society, Museum curators etc. are brought together in order to help in creating a network between researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. The IEEE History Center and IEEE History Committee have usually served as technical cosponsors.
Thanks to the efforts of Anthony Davies, IEEE Region 8 Past Director and Histelcon 2019 chair, papers from the conference proceedings have been made available through the links below for open-access viewing on IEEE Xplore.
