Original accession

Scope and Content Note

Box 1 of the collection contains several different accessions. The first, accession number 1986-070, consists of reports and memoranda regarding departmental rap sessions, 1968-1969, which largely dealt with internal issues. The second accession, number 1990-186, concerns the development of the SUN workstation, a network-based personal computer system, and includes memoranda, reports, diagrams, papers, and other materials dating from 1976 to 1981. This accession was received as a notebook; the items have been removed and placed in folders, maintaining the original order. The third accession, number 1991-049, consists of two items that were part of a larger accession received from the Physics Library.
Box 2 contains accession 2008-105, which appears to have been the files of Carolyn Tajnai, Director of the Stanford Computer Forum, and pertains to Silicon Valley history and F. E. Terman. Five boxes from accession 1999-102 were added to the collection in January 2010. They include class materials (syllabi, handouts, exams), 1962-84; reports on research in the department, 1967-69; Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Operating Notes, numbers 1-70 (incomplete set); "The Future of Computer Science at Stanford," by Forsythe, Herriot, and Miller, Feb. 1967; and Robert Floyd "Notes toward a revised formula ALGOL," 1966.
