<div dir="ltr">Yes, as Debbie mentions we have the Edmund Berkeley papers, it is a very full and large collection (about 90 boxes I think) on his life's work in computing, anti-nuke, and other work. Bernadette Longo published an insightful biography book using the collection. We have copies of Brainiac, and some other artifacts along with the collection of papers. He was a co-founder of ACM so also some in our ACM Organizational Records on Berkeley.<div><br></div><div>Best, Jeff</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><b><font color="#222222">Please connect: </font><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-yost-b714566" target="_blank"><font color="#cc0000">Linkedin</font></a><font color="#222222"> </font><a href="https://twitter.com/jeffreyyost6" style="color:rgb(34,34,34)" target="_blank">Twitter</a><font color="#222222"> </font><a href="https://www.facebook.com/babbageinstitute" target="_blank"><font color="#6aa84f">CBI-FB</font></a><font color="#38761d"> </font><font color="#222222"> </font><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Decentralizedinternet/" target="_blank"><font color="#cc0000">Blockchain & Society FB</font></a></b></div><div><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><b>Jeffrey Yost, Ph.D. @JeffreyYost6</b></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">Director, <a href="http://www.cse.umn.edu/cbi" target="_blank">Charles Babbage Institute</a>; Research Professor, HSTM</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><div style="color:rgb(32,33,36)"><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">222 21st Avenue South, University of Minnesota; Minneapolis, MN 55455</p></div><div><br></div></div><div><b><font color="#cc0000">Studies in Computing and Culture book series, Johns Hopkins U.

<p class="MsoNormal">We(MIT Museum) recently acquired some of Edmund Berkeley’s games (I’ve attached a picture of Brainiac) from the estate of his Berkely’s son (most of the papers went to the Babbage Institute that had already acquired materials from Berkeley.).
One thing that I learned is that Patrick McGovern’s (MIT, 1959) first job was writing for Berkeley’s

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a great topic! I think Patrick McCray is traveling at the moment, but he is currently at work on a book that examines the history of computing via a number of books on computing. His argument is that writing on computing shaped
how people experienced and thought about computing. His chapters are organized around a set number of books (can't remember the number), and his narrative covers the post-WWII period up to about 2000. As he examines this set of books, he also explores other
books/writings, the publishing industry (and the role computers played in publishing), the rise of "tech journalism," and many other topics. I'm sure he would love to chat about what he's up to. <u></u><u></u></p>
