David F. Rogers collection ca. 1960s-1900s

The collection contains research materials, digital files, SIGGRAPH course notes, correspondence, reports, drafts of the textbooks, instructional materials, and even student projects and papers. OSU is also fortunate to have visual documentation of his work in the form of 16mm films (transferred to DVD). The collection is a valuable resource for scholars interested in studying the history of computer graphics.
