[SIGCIS-Members] Recordings of the 1976 International History of Computing Conference

[Dag Spicer]

Hi Gary,

CHM has a set of the *video*tapes of that conference.

See: http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/search/?s=los+alamos+1976&type=all&t=objects&f=movingimage

At some point, CHM will post these onto its YouTube channel… 

Best,

Dag
