Hi list, I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions about a possible (history of computing?) archival home for the papers of Estil Hoversten, who contributed to satellite communications and Internet protocol research (PhD in EE from Iowa State, then faculty at MIT and later in industry at Hughes). Please email me if you have any thoughts or leads. Thank you! -christina ** Christina Dunbar-Hester Author of *Low Power to the People* <http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/low-power-people>, MIT Press
Hello Christina, This is definitely within the area we collect at the Computer History Museum, though it would have to go through our offer review process. Networking history materials are of special interest to our Internet History Program which I direct. Please feel free to send an email describing what you are offering, including a rough sense of the type and quantity. The Babbage Institute is another candidate for papers, as are Stanford Libraries and MIT.

Christina mentions Hughes. My memory is that Estil also worked at Comsat and Linkabit during the earliest packet-over-satellite and internetworking efforts. (Linkabit was Jacobs and Viterbi's company before they sold it and founded Qualcomm.) Dave

Hi Christina- Many good suggestions already! Another possibility is to contact curators in the Space History Division at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum… Paul Ceruzzi SIGCIS member and curates history of computing, communication, guidance, navigation, control https://airandspace.si.edu/staff/paul-ceruzzi Martin Collins Curates history of civilian satellites http://airandspace.si.edu/staff/martin-collins Might be a good mix of interest/expertise/fit given Hoversten’s contribution to IP via satellite.

Yet another great place for them would be Hagley Museum and Library, Christina. If you’d like me to put you in touch with someone there, let me know.
