We? have? a? few? dupes here? but? reserving those? for? someone that might? ?help us?
out.
Another? great? reference are the old? joint computer? conference? ?east and? west?
?books.? ?were or? became? AFIPS WOW THEY HAVE ALL? ? THE INSERTING? EARLY STUFF!
We? have the? stuff? from start to? the? 80s? ?as? I? remember... nothing newer..? ?a?
fine? gift? ?from? Honeywell / Bull? HN and? ?some? from? side sources...? some of the
later? hard? bound? ones? we? have? some? duplicates? of... need? to make a? list..? The?
early? ones? ?we? may be? missing? an? issue ?? ?will? have to make a? current? list.
These AFIPS? ?publications are? ?another? group that? ?are not? in full open? access on
the? internet? as? far as? I know..? But? ?should? be!
Some? I? like? looking at? ?for? something different? ?are the UK? data processing? Mags?
form the? 50's and? 60s? as there are? computer and companies in there? I? know
nothing about at all.

Chuck,
I?ve found the Living Computers Museum in Seattle is interested in building their
collection of paper copies of journals, and will pay for shipping. The form to offer items
for donation is here:
https://livingcomputers.org/Discover/Contribute-Historical-Artifacts.aspx . The more
carefully you list the specific issues you have, the more likely they are to accept your
offer (assuming they don?t already have the same issues). I?ve donated ACM publications
and also various early PC magazines to them, plus a bunch of old MSDN CD-ROMs.
