I have a copy of the complete set of cassette tapes and am planning to digitize soon.

Send me info about what you want from Nick's at LANL and I can see if I can apply some grease.

Thanks
Gary

There are copies of some of these tapes in the Arthur Burks papers at IUPUI.
I did not try to play them and cannot comment on their quality. I do not
believe he had the full set.

I'm actually very interested in the Nick Metropolis papers which appear to
be at LANL, but for which there seems to be no route for scholarly access in
less than the glacial time periods involved with FOIA.

Computing Conference

I am told by our physics library that the International History of Computing
Conference at Los Alamos in 1976 was recorded (audio).

Are others aware of these recordings?

I am attempting to recover these recordings from our library and do
something sensible with them as part of our history of computing at Los
Alamos project.
Talks by Stan Ulam, Mauchly, Burks, and dozens of others are potentially
salvageable (something like 30 hours of audio).

If someone has already restored these gems, let me know and I won't bother.

Thanks
