<p class="MsoNormal">An important, new digitised research resource has recently been donated to the Archives of IT and may be of interest to your, your department and students.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <a href="https://archivesit.org.uk/publications/butler-cox-reports/">
Butler Cox Foundation</a> reports which were produced between 1977 to 1991 advising IT Directors on issues in technology and systems are free to access on our website. The collection comprises 220 newsletters, reports and conference proceedings, tracking the
advance of information technology as it moved out of the closeted world of ‘computing’ or ‘data processing’ into communications, office systems and publishing. It heralded the world of the PC, e-mail, the mobile phone and the Internet, identifying and explaining
the nature and significance of new developments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As well as influencing the uptake of technology by leading users and the product offerings of major suppliers, the findings of the Foundation research were communicated to the UK Government on numerous occasions and had a bearing on public
policy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below is just one small snippet to pique your interest: <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">“Many managers consider the stories about vast computer frauds, perpetrated by gangs of master criminals or clever juveniles, overplayed and irrelevant to their own business operations.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They truly are a mine of valuable and fascinating information, I hope you will enjoy taking a closer look.<o:p></o:p></p>
