Historical Archive

A book, journal or archival publication whose purpose is documenting the history of computing, written after the events it describes rather than issued at the time by a party to them. Belongs here: The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution, Alan Turing: The Enigma, and IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, each a secondary historical account. Does not belong here: a document issued by the original party at the time of the event, filed under Primary Source Document, and a page an institution publishes about its own past, filed under Institutional History rather than here.
