This small collection consists of the research materials gathered by Dr. Steve Wixson during the "History of Computing at UAB Project" on which he worked throughout 1992 and into 1993. The collection contains correspondence with prominent UAB administrators and faculty members about computing at UAB. The files also contain information about the history of computing in the various schools and departments at UAB. In particular, folders about computing in the Departments of Medicine and Surgery and at University Hospital provide valuable information. The files contain materials dating back to the 1960s when Dr. Josiah Macy first came to UAB and helped organize the Department of Information Sciences. The files also contain reports about UAB computing and newsletters from the computing facility at UAB. The series also contains correspondence of Dr. Joseph Fontana who directed the Computer Center during the 1960s. The correspondence dates from 1964 to 1970 and includes information about computing activities at UAB and computer hardware and software during this period.
