<div>Thanks to Janet Abbate, Tom Haigh, and Jeff Yost for
serving on the historical advisory committee for the project;
and Tom Misa for shepherding the book through the publication
process. NSF supported the project with a grant but did not have
any editorial control over the content.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The project resulted in approximately 5,000
documents and 50 oral histories being deposited at the Babbage
Institute. These materials will eventually be available for
scholarly use once the collection has been processed.</div>
