Evan, The compendium Faster Than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing Machines, BV Bowden, ed. first published in 1953 is valuable. I've also found some good info both pre- and post-1965 in Datamation that address many of the real and perceived problems of the times. And even though published at the end of the 1960s, Jean Sammet's Programming Languages has some excellent coverage of pre-1965 technologies and activities.
