Cortada, James W. (Author)


IEEE Annals of the History of Computing
Volume: 43
Issue: 2
Pages: 42-44


Publication Date: April-June 2021
Edition Details: Anecdotes
Language: English

For over 40 years practitioners in the world of IT and historians of computing and information have come together in these Annals to share their understanding of computing’s history. Participants have their own reasons for involvement with the Annals and have their own approaches to studying and reporting history. Historians typically have different research agendas than practitioners, often dealing with much broader concerns than the practitioner. While some practitioners may have explicit research agendas, many others may just enjoy reading about the history they lived through or are collecting that history in maybe somewhat accidental ways.
