I have donated to the Hagley Museum and Library the bulk of my books about computing and since I had donated a large number to the University of Minnesota (CBI) in 2009 I wanted to explain why I did that. In the intervening years since 2009, the library at the University of Minnesota decided to allocate its remaining space more to archival materials rather than to large book collections. The Hagley had room for the books and its collecting strategy dovetailed neatly with mine. CBI and the University of Minnesota Library eagerly welcome new archival materials dealing with IT, as we saw recently with the massive acquisition of Jean Sammet's papers. I intend to continue donating my notes and other archival materials to CBI as I complete future book projects. My current project is a large history of IBM, to be published by MIT Press early next year.
