The Harvard Computation Laboratory was established in 1944 when IBM presented the first entirely automatic digital computer to Harvard University, a machine designed and built by Howard Aiken. In 1962, the Harvard Computing Center was formed by combining the computer operational staff and the programming staff of the Littauer Statistical Laboratory; the functions of the two labs were then merged.
