Community Memory: Discussion List on the History of Cyberspace ______________________________________________________________________
Just wanted to let people know what we're doing and invite them to get involved, now that we have a website as a home base, webhistory.org (www.webhistory.org will also work).
Web History Day, Santa Clara, CA, April 11th We're putting on a History Day for the 6th International World Wide Web conference in Santa Clara, CA, on Friday, April 11, and an exhibit thoughout the conference (7-11). Details are on our site, but we'll be having demos of historic Web and hypermedia software by Doug Engelbart, Ted Nelson, Andy Van Dam, Tim Berners-Lee, Brewster Kahle, Pei Wei, NCSA (Mosaic),and many others; historic sites by the White House, GNN, CommerceNet, HotWired, SLAC, and more.
Project
Besides the History Day, The Web History Project has four main efforts right now; a book covering the definitive history of the Web's invention and its roots in hypermedia (well underway), an online digital library of source material related to Web history, various documentary projects, and the "Software Preservation Initiative", through which we hope to help archive as much historic software as possible before it goes away, whether Web-related or not.
We need source material!
If you have personal recollections, software, papers, photos, computers etc. etc. related to the development of the Web, please let us know. If you have historic software or hardware of ANY kind which you feel should be preserved, also let us know. We're sharing materials with the Internet Archive (which hosts our site), the Computer Museum, and Stanford University, so between the four of us there should be permanent homes for good source material of nearly any sort. See our Web site for more info.
Partners
We're also interested in forming similar arrangements with other appropriate institutions.
