ACM history question
I'm trying to learn more about the March 1950 ACM conference held at Rutgers University. Specifically, I'm looking for a list of who attended. Susan @ CBI sent me many pages of documentation about the conference. It focuses on the agenda, lectures, and exhibits, which is terrific. It says 370 people attended. I hope to find out who they were. My goal is to find out if any of the attendees were from the Signal Corps Radar Lab -- that's the one here in NJ which is now our computer museum. Are there other sources I might find of data about this conference? (Rutgers itself does not have much.)
Evan, I found some ACM materials at the Hagley Library several years ago. I don't remember exactly what their holdings are, but they did have attendance lists for some of the earliest meetings. best, Janet Dr. Janet Abbate Associate Professor Science & Technology in Society Virginia Tech On Feb 27, 2012, at 9:03 PM, Evan Koblentz wrote:
