The Communications History Committee solicits articles on Communication History for our magazines, organizes communications history sessions at conferences, and commemorates significant anniversaries of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc). In 2012, the 60th anniversary of our Society, the Committee organized the updating, expansion and re-issue of the History of Communications book published for our 50th anniversary in 2002, and the production of a 25-minute recollections video in which many past Presidents of IEEE ComSoc look back on their experiences in the communications field and in IEEE ComSoc.
