<span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Dear Friends,<br>
<br>
These are exciting times at the Charles Babbage Institute (CBI), and we would like to share with you a few highlights from 2019: </span></span></div><ul>
<li style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The completion of multi-institutional project—a documentary on the history of computing in Minnesota. <span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><a data-linkto="https://" href="http://click.ecommunications2.umn.edu/?qs=b90bcb5ab211b361584d3a2de2dd27e9a512f70f3d63e63fe299e1cbc19fbf9330e96db35c6d8f3a8acec6377c18686012ba7aa01a3a33a5" style="color:#0000FF;text-decoration:underline;" title="Watch Solid State documentary">Watch Solid State documentary</a>.</span></span></span></span></li><li style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">CBI and the University Libraries launched the annual Samek Lecture in Information Science and Culture, with an inaugural lecture by leading IT scholar Bill Aspray.</span></span></li><li style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The addition of Colorado’s Bill Aspray, and MIT’s Jennifer Light, as CBI Senior Research Fellows, as well as HSTM’s hiring of Assistant Professor Honghong Tinn, who also serves as an affiliated historian at CBI. </span></span></span></span></li><li style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Archivist Amanda Wick and I co-led a highly successful Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group (SIG) Heritage/History Workshop, educating computer scientists from around the world interested in archiving and oral history. </span></span></li></ul><div style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">We expect that 2020 will be another exceptional year. On May 8-9, I will be partnering with standout past CBI Tomash Fellow UC-Davis’ Gerardo Con Diaz on CBI’s upcoming symposium “Just Code: Power, Inequality, and the Global Political Economy of IT,” at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. <a data-linkto="https://" href="http://click.ecommunications2.umn.edu/?qs=b90bcb5ab211b36150bacb9584ab0f050841842cef2eba97d234839a8a4cb07a30e4b35209f12efa1e6ea31379943dbb111198d88fe8d1fd" style="color:#0000FF;text-decoration:underline;" title="Register for the "Just Code" symposium">Register for the "Just Code" symposium</a>.<br>
<br>
Accomplishments and events such as these would not be possible without your support. Our donors make what CBI does possible—research, unparalleled assistance to students and scholars globally, public history, CBI symposia, oral history, publishing, editorial leadership, and continually adding to our world leading CBI Archives.<br>
<br>
The opportunities are incredible, the need is pressing, and the impact, in true entrepreneurial fashion, is exponential! Thank you in advance for your generosity and happy holidays to all!<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Jeff<br>
<br>

P.S. Your gift today will help us create an even brighter tomorrow for IT history/IT studies. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">
