http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77062907

Contains correspondence, memoranda, articles, photographs, and other records relating to the projects and operations of the Harvard Computation Laboratory in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Much of the material concerns the work of professors Oettinger, Susumu Kuno, and others directly involved in the administration of the laboratory. Categories of organized material are: 1) National Science Foundation and other grants, 2) Harvard Computing Center, 3) ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and journals, 4) Book requests, 5) Symposia, colloquia, and meetings, 6) Government. Some material relates to machine translation of English language data; other material relates to symposia and conferences on the application of information technology in different fields, such as automated banking, government research contracts, space applications, and teleconferencing. Also contains grant proposals to the National Science Foundation for the years 1957-1964.
