System Development Foundation records, 1957-1993.

Of most interest to researchers will be the research files and project reports; these are arranged by grant number, however there is an index at the end of the guide arranged by recipient, institution, and subject of project. Only the major project recipients are listed as added entries on this record. There are also System Development Foundation Board of Trustees minutes, correspondence and planning materials, business records, and materials relating to SDF/SDC joint meetings.

SDF was created in 1969 as a non-profit funding organization during the transition of the System Development Corporation (SDC) to for-profit status. The SDF Board of Trustees gave its initial grants to non-profit organizations, particularly Cal Tech, U.C. Berkeley, The Rand Corporation, and Stanford University. They backed research primarily in information sciences and the human-machine interface, the areas of expertise of SDC. In the first year SDF funded over $11 million in research; in the ne...

System Development Corporation evolved out of the System Development Division of the RAND Corporation. This division, and later the independent company, were in the business of studying how humans and machines (especially computers and sophisticated electronics) interacted. The System Development Division was spun off in 1957, and became the non-profit company named SDC, or System Development Corporation. SDC became a for-profit operation in 1968, and was acquired by Burroughs Corporation in 198...
