Welcome!

Welcome to the Edinburgh Computer History Project. This site is an attempt by the Edinburgh diaspora to preserve as much information about the history of computing at Edinburgh University as we can.

Following a few problems with its previous home, the project's archive has been copied to Informatics at Edinburgh. It will be made available in its raw form until we find time to wrap it in some better index pages. Apologies for that not having happened yet!

• The raw archive

Here are some links to other sites which might be of interest:

• Publications (including theses) by Informatics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science staff and PhD students
• History of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science and Cognitive Science at Edinburgh
• Computer Conservation Society
• The National Museum of Computing
• Bob Eager's EMAS pages
• The UNIX Heritage Society with links off to other related sites
• lcfg: a UNIX configuration system developed locally over many years.
• We had cameras looking down at the site of the Informatics Forum as it was being built. The results are indexed here.
• There were also cameras looking down at the new "DTI building" site, now known as the Bayes Centre.
