The IT Historical Society board of directors is pleased to announce that Leslie Berlin of the Stanford Silicon Valley Archives has joined the board. Leslie is the author of The Man Behind the Microchip: Robert Noyce and the Invention of Silicon Valley, a biography of Intel co-founder and microchip co-inventor Robert Noyce. She also contributed the "Prototype" column on innovation to The New York Times from September 2008 to August 2009. She serves on the advisory committee to the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. The Board is pleased about this news of her joining the board and feel that Leslie will no doubt add further strength in archiving the goals of expanding IT archival and historical activities.
