The Charles Babbage Institute (CBI) is proud to announce the availability of the online finding aid for the collection: Association for Computing Machinery Records, 1947-2007 (CBI 205) at <http://purl.umn.edu/51982>. Everyone at CBI is excited to make this collection accessible and we invite scholars to make use of the materials on-site or to make inquiries and requests for information via phone, email, or IM on the CBI website, http://www.cbi.umn.edu/ CBI is preparing online and physical exhibits about the history of ACM, featuring materials from this and related collections housed here. The on-site exhibit will be on display in the atrium of the University of Minnesota's Elmer L. Andersen Library, January 11 -- March 5, 2010. Further information about both exhibits will be posted to this list and on the CBI website as it becomes available. I would like to thank Pat Ryan and the ACM for their generosity with this collection and its processing. I would also like to thank Loralee Bloom, Project Archivist, for all of her wonderful work on the collection, as well as her student assistant Valerie MacDonald, whom CBI was fortunate enough to retain after completion of the project and who will - no doubt - prove immensely valuable in our exhibition ventures.
