Printed Materials, Series 1, Bulk, 1945-1955 1945-2004

Language of Material: English

Series Scope and Content

This series contains printed materials relating to Huskey's work in computer science, the bulk of which date from 1945 to 1955. The majority of the materials, including manuals, technical reports, and papers, relate to the EDVAC, Pilot ACE, and SWAC. There are a small number of handwritten notes, both on separate sheets of paper as well as on typed documents. This series also includes meeting minutes from the AMEC, a letter from the War Department addressing what information about the ENIAC and EDVAC could be used by Huskey in his professional work, and a product data sheet for the G-15 computer. Huskey's journal, which contains detailed notes of each work day and includes interfiled correspondence and handwritten notes from between 1948 and 1952, is also included in this series. This series is arranged chronologically.
