The Oughtred Society Hall of Fame.

Since 2005, the Oughtred Society Award Committee honors outstanding contributions to the world community involved with slide rules and historical calculating instruments. The Oughtred Society Fellowship honors substantial contributions to the Oughtred Society itself.


Colin Barnes Presents the 2007 award to Rod Lovett

The Oughtred Society Award for 2007 has been won by Rod Lovett, for creating in 2004, maintaining and extending a number of powerful and user-friendly online databases and search engines, to look for many facets of slide rule information: Literature Search and Retrieval, eBay Search, ISRG and Forum Archive, and more recently Herman's Archive. These information services have made the accumulated slide rule knowledge widely available to every collector, anytime and anywhere.

For more details see:

Award recipients receive a framed certificate (such as this one awarded posthumously to Michael O'Leary) and a gold Society pin in a presentation box. Fellowship recipients receive a silver Society pin in a presentation box.
