This website complements Newcastle University Historical Computing Committee’s Display in the School of Computing. It is intended both for people who having seen the Display now wish to explore further, and for those who have not had an opportunity to visit the Display. The website’s provisions therefore include:

• an overall account of work of the Committee and photographs of all the display cabinets
• detailed catalogues of our large collections of historical artefacts and documents
• accounts of events (both formal and informal!) that have helped form the history of the Computing Laboratory and its successors: the School of Computing and NUIT (Newcastle University IT Service)
• images and transcripts of a large variety of historic documents connected with these three organisations
• a tribute to the late Roger Broughton, originator of all these efforts.
•
