Recovery, Evaluation and Dissemination of New Archive Documents on History of Computing

SES 00-01991 - Colin Burke（独立学者）SGER：“恢复，评估和传播关于计算历史的新档案文件”这项探索性研究的小额赠款支持首席研究员对最近发布到英国公共记录办公室的新解密文件的重要集合进行调查。这些新获得的文件涉及二战期间盟军的密码破译，以及与这些密码分析项目相关的开创性计算机和信息管理项目。通过这些项目，科学家和科学机构在创造先进技术和方法方面发挥了重要作用。许多重要的科学家和机构都参与了这项工作，其中包括艾伦·图灵、范内瓦尔·布什、麻省理工学院和剑桥大学。在这笔拨款的支持下，PI将确保更重要的项目的副本，并准备文章，以提醒历史学界新收藏的重要性。PI还将创建一个互联网站点，其中将包含索引和注释的文件副本。

SES 00-01991 -- Colin Burke (Independent Scholar) SGER: "Recovery, Evaluation and Dissemination of New Archive Documents on the History of Computing"This Small Grant for Exploratory Research supports the principal investigator's survey of an important collection of newly declassified documents recently released to England's Public Record Office. The newly available documents relate to Allied codebreaking in World War II, and to the path-breaking computer and information management projects tied to those cryptanalytic projects. Through these projects scientists and scientific institutions played a major role in the creation of advanced technology and methods. Among the many important scientists and institutions associated with the efforts were Alan Turing and Vannevar Bush and MIT and Cambridge University.With the support of this grant the PI will secure copies of the more important items and prepare articles to alert the historical community of the importance of the new collection. The PI will also create an Internet site that will contain indexed and annotated copies of the documents.
