Dear colleagues, 

I am pleased to announce that the latest issue of IEEE Annals of the History of Computing is available to read online. It is a standard issue, with our usual mix of research articles and department contributions. Please accept my apologies for the delay in sharing this with you; it has been quite the couple of months here at Swansea University. 

Find it on IEEE Xplore or CSDL as you prefer.
