National Science Foundation (U.S.). Computing History Project.

In 1989 the National Science Foundation (NSF) circulated a request for proposal (LPA 89-101) to produce a historical monograph of computing and computer science supported by the NSF. A contract was awarded in 1990 to the Charles Babbage Institute (CBI) at the University of Minnesota. William Aspray, CBI's associate director, was named principal investigator. During the course of the project he became director of the Center for the History of Electrical Engineering, where he continued the project. In order to develop sources on the effect of NSF's funding on basic research and institutional support for computing and computer science, Aspray conducted a series of oral history interviews.
