History of Code: A Revisable Computing Record
A source-led archive organizes computing history into collections on chronology, primary documents, people, institutions, oral histories, and disputed claims.
- For
- Readers researching computing history
- Worth noticing
- The chronology calls its milestones curated examples, not a complete account, and distinguishes demonstration, publication, and deployment.
Field notes
The catalogue divides the subject into ten fields, from early computing and personal machines to institutions, oral histories, and disputed attribution. Its chronology offers era filters and identifies its milestones as curated examples rather than a complete account. Research standards emphasize inspectable records, provenance, consent, and separating witness recollection from independently dated artifacts; the page also lists a public revision ledger and ways to contribute evidence.
