The ISCA Special Interest Group (SIG) on the history of Speech Communication Sciences (SIG-HIST, http://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/sigs?layout=edit&id=128), which is co-sponsored by the IPA, held the First International Workshop on the History of Speech Communication Research in Dresden on Sept. 4-5, 2015 (http://www.isca-speech.org/archive/hscr_2015/). SIG-HIST invites speech communication laboratories to send them pictures, audio files and video clips of historical instruments with a short description to be put on the SIG's website at http://www.sig-hist.org. The plan is to set up and maintain a kind of "virtual museum". IPA members are encouraged to participate.
