Abstract

The Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) records comprise DEC’s corporate archives, with
material dating from 1947 to 2002. The bulk of the collection was collected and created during
the company’s years of operation from 1957 to 1998. DEC, founded by engineers Ken Olsen
and Harlan Anderson, was one of the largest and most successful computer companies in the
industry’s history. Widely recognized for its PDP and VAX minicomputer product lines, by 1988
DEC was second only to IBM as the world’s largest computer company. This collection holds
the papers of DEC’s executives, engineers, and personnel -- including the personal collections
of founders Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson. Also included are DEC’s administrative records
and material relating to product development and engineering, with committee meeting minutes,
correspondence, Internal newsletters, product proposals, and engineering drawings. Most of
DEC’s publications, such as manuals, promotional and sales material, and technical reports, are
represented in this collection as well. Lastly, DEC’s large corporate photo library and archive
remains intact as a part of this collection, holding tens of thousands of original product
photographs, portraits of DEC personnel, images showing client applications of DEC products,
brochures, and historical files with visual documentation of the company’s beginnings and
milestones. In 1998, DEC was acquired by Compaq, ending its run as a company, though many
of its groundbreaking technologies went on to sell under different branding and influence
subsequent directions of computing and its industries.

Biographical/Historical Note

Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) was one of the largest and most profitable computer
companies in the world, initially known for its modules, then for its PDP and VAX families of
computers, and finally for the Alpha microprocessor.
DEC was founded in Maynard, Massachusetts, by engineers Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson,
who had previously worked together at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. It operated from 1957 to 1998.
Olsen and Anderson started the company with financial backing from Georges Doriot, one of the
United States’ first venture capitalists, and DEC was the first successful venture-backed

computer company. Olsen served as DEC’s president until 1992 and ran the company with a
complicated decentralized management style that pitted product groups against each other for
corporate resources. Anderson served as DEC’s executive vice president until he was forced
out in 1966 after a falling out with Olsen over the direction of the company.
At the time of DEC’s founding, computers were large, complicated to use, and expensive. Olsen
and Anderson wanted to produce alternatives to those large mainframes: computers that were
powerful and had real-time interactivity, but were smaller, easier to use, and much more
affordable. Mindful that investors were not backing computer companies at the time, their
business plan was divided into two phases that de-emphasized computer production. Phase
one focused on the manufacture and sale of electronic modules to be used in test and
prototyping environments; phase two focused on using those modules in the design of a fully
interactive computer system. Ultimately, DEC’s focus would be on minicomputers for laboratory,
business, and research use customized for clients and including long-term service and technical
support contracts with DEC.
For its first two years, DEC developed its successful module business. In 1959, DEC’s first
minicomputer, the Programmed Data Processor, or PDP-1, was designed and produced, with
the first unit sold in 1960. It was a groundbreaking computer because of its low cost and its
fostering of direct user interaction. DEC released dozens of other PDP-family minicomputers
over the next decade, becoming the market leader in minicomputers by a large margin.
In 1977, DEC introduced a new line of computers -- developed as an extension to the PDP-11 -called VAX, or Virtual Address Extension. The incredibly successful and influential VAX family of
computers implemented a 32-bit complex instruction set computing (CISC) architecture and
could run DEC’s proprietary operating system VAX/VMS (later OpenVMS) and UNIX. The VAX
family included high performance models, mainframes, workstations, and MicroVAX
minicomputers.
In the early 1980s, DEC began development of a 64-bit reduced instruction set computing
(RISC) architecture to replace VAX. What started as several small RISC projects at DEC formed
into one, PRISM, which was canceled just before completion. Alpha development started soon
after and was based on PRISM concepts. The Alpha architecture, introduced in 1992, was
implemented as a line of microprocessors.
DEC produced other technologies besides computers. It sold a wide variety of peripherals
including magnetic tape and disk memory subsystems, dot matrix printers, and graphics
displays. DEC was also focused on networking and produced several systems, including
Ethernet, DECnet, and VAXclusters. DEC also created the early search engine AltaVista in
1995. Additionally, DEC produced software that was mostly proprietary to DEC machines.
As microcomputers emerged in the 1980s, Olsen was resistant to DEC developing them,
believing that most people would not want computers in their homes and that personal
computers (PCs) were mostly used for non-serious purposes, like games. However, in response
to IBM’s PC (1981), DEC released several personal computer systems: the Professional series,
DECmate II, Rainbow 100, and VAXmate. DEC’s personal computer efforts did not take off like
the IBM PC, however, because of DEC’s high prices, poor marketing, and insistence on making
its machines and software proprietary and thus incompatible with other companies’ products
and peripherals. DEC’s PDP-11 and VAX systems continued to sell well, however, but
competitors were actively working to create cheaper computers.

In 1988, DEC was second only to IBM as the world’s largest computer company. By 1990,
however, the United States was in a recession and DEC’s business began to falter. This loss in
revenue was attributable to several factors: There was disagreement within DEC as to the
direction the company should take as workstations, personal computers, and open computing
became more popular. DEC chose to focus on developing a large mainframe, the VAX 9000,
and continued to produce proprietary software and hardware, missing the opportunity to take
advantage of the personal computer and workstation revolution. Many at DEC felt the VAX 9000
could not recoup its design and manufacturing costs; this turned out to be true. As DEC
concentrated on the VAX 9000, competitors produced workstations that were far less expensive
and more powerful.
As DEC’s business waned, there were several attempts within different areas of the company to
boost DEC’s viability with new products and technologies. Following DEC’s traditional
management model, these different factions were competing against each other and
unfortunately no successful products came from those efforts. In the early 1990s, after steadily
falling sales, DEC implemented the first layoffs in the company’s history.
In 1992, the DEC board forced Olsen to resign, appointing Bob Palmer as CEO and president.
Palmer attempted to streamline DEC by reorganizing its structure into a business unit system,
but the company’s profits continued to slide, particularly with its biggest moneymaker, sales and
service of VAX systems. Palmer continued laying off employees and began selling off parts of
DEC’s business units. Finally, in 1998, what was left of DEC was sold to Compaq in the largest
merger in the computer industry at that time. Compaq struggled with the merger, and eventually
sold the Alpha microprocessor business to Intel, and then was itself acquired by HewlettPackard in 2002.
Although it ultimately failed as a company, DEC’s legacy as a pioneer in computer technology
lives on. HP continues to sell products derived from DEC technology, such as OpenVMS, under
its own branding.

Scope and Content of the Collection

The Digital Equipment Corporation records are made up of material created and collected at the
company during its active years from 1957 to 1998. The collection also contains material
created prior to DEC’s founding, dating as early as 1947, and material from the organizations
involved in DEC’s final mergers and acquisitions spanning as late as 2002.
The first seven series of the collection consist of smaller, personal collections of DEC’s
founders, executives, engineers, and other staff. These collections of individuals’ papers were
donated intact to the Computer History Museum within the larger original donation. Most of
these individuals’ collections were grouped into series based on different types of careers at
DEC. “Series 1, Executives’ papers” contain the papers of DEC’s founders, presidents,
executive vice presidents, and/or executives in charge of an entire branch of DEC’s operations.
Series 1 holds the papers of DEC’s two founders, Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson, which
include some of the earliest records of the collection from influencing organizations such as
MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory.
“Series 2, Engineers’ papers” group together engineers and technical specialists. Two of the
largest subseries under Series 2 are the papers of Mike Uhler and Timothe Litt, who were both
senior consulting engineers at DEC. Litt’s collection of papers is especially large, partly due to
his role in facilitating the transfer of portions of the Digital Equipment Corporation records (Lot

X2675.2004) and a smaller donation of material (Lot X3149.2005) focusing on the KL10 model
of DEC’s PDP-10 mainframe computer family. The last category of personal collections is
grouped under “Series 3, Product managers’ papers.” Series 3 contains the papers of DEC’s
“group managers” and “product line managers” who steered product development and
employee management for specific product lines. Some of the individuals with personal
collections were not grouped into the initial three series, due to the natures of their careers at
DEC not fitting into these series’ categories. These individuals have their own series.
Following the papers of individual staff are DEC’s administrative records, containing Internal
newsletters, the minutes and correspondence of internal committees, manufacturing plant
records, and records pertaining to personnel and corporate policies. Since the personal
collections of the preceding series were kept intact, much of the contents of those series relate
to the material in “Series 9, Administrative records.” For example, there are records from DEC’s
Operations Committee and Executive Committee held in both the administrative records series
and the Ken Olsen papers in Series 1.
Another large body of internal documentation is contained in “Series 10, Product lifecycle
records,” which includes product proposals, project updates, pricing and manufacturing plans,
performance summaries, specifications, field maintenance documentation, and engineering
drawings for various product lines at DEC.
Other parts of the collection were donated and processed as units of a specific department or
group. These include “Series 11, Public Relations department records,” “Series 12, Corporate
Contributions department records,” and “Series 13, DECUS records.” This collection also
contains large amounts of DEC publications, which are organized into series based on their
publication types. These series include promotional and sales material, technical newsletters
and journals, manuals, and technical reports. DEC had previously organized some of these
publications into lending libraries for employees and other users -- notably with its large
collections of manuals and technical reports.
One other major part of this collection comprises the still images and documentation of the
Digital Equipment Corporation Photo Library and Archive. The photo library holds tens of
thousands of original slides, transparencies, prints, negatives, and proof sheets spanning the
company’s active years from 1957 to 1998. These images depict client applications of DEC
products, brochures and promotional material, portraits of DEC pioneers, and historical files of
images documenting the company’s early history and achievement milestones, along with
histories of Maynard, Massachusetts and the “Maynard Mill” (DEC’s headquarters). Lastly, this
collection contains the audiovisual holdings--primarily videotapes--of DEC’s regional libraries
from various facilities, including video recordings of talks and meetings from the DEC Systems
Research Center (SRC) in Palo Alto, California.

Series 1, Executives’ papers, 1947-1995, bulk 1960-1994
This series consists of the papers of DEC’s founders and executives. Since DEC classified
many of its employees working at various levels of its hierarchy as “vice presidents,” the
decisions to group certain individuals under this series were based largely on multiple
organizational charts from different years found within the collection. Rather than basing these
decisions on job titles alone, DEC staff members were grouped under this series if they were a
founder, president, executive vice president, and/or in charge of a whole branch of DEC’s
operations (e.g., engineering or sales). Many of the records in this series consist of
correspondence and memoranda among DEC’s high-level steering and managing committees,
including the Works Committee, Operations Committee, Executive Committee, Business Unit
Committee, and Small Computer Guidance Committee. Also of interest in this series are records
relating to the development of the early computers of the PDP product family, which are
documented in the Olsen, Anderson, and Bell papers. Other administrative aspects of DEC’s
operations are also covered, such as correspondence relating to early sources of funding for
DEC in the Hindle and Olsen papers. Material in the Gullotti and Olsen papers also documents
company-wide reorganizations and their outcomes and consequences. This series is arranged
into five subseries:
Subseries 1.1, Ken Olsen papers, 1947-1992, bulk 1957-1978
Subseries 1.2, Harlan Anderson papers, 1959-1966
Subseries 1.3, Win Hindle papers, 1958-1994
Subseries 1.4, Gordon Bell papers, 1966-1983, bulk 1974-1983
Subseries 1.5, Russ Gullotti papers, 1979-1995, bulk 1991-1994
Subseries 1.1, Ken Olsen papers, 1947-1992, bulk 1957-1978
This subseries contains material collected and created by Kenneth (Ken) H. Olsen, cofounder and President of DEC until 1992.Olsen was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on
February 20, 1926. After serving in the U.S. Navy at the end of World War II, Olsen
attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received bachelor’s
(1950) and master’s (1952) degrees in electrical engineering. Olsen founded DEC with
his MIT colleague Harlan Anderson in 1957. Under Olsen’s direction, DEC grew from
three employees in a corner of a former wool mill to a leading manufacturer of computer
systems and associated peripheral equipment and a leader in systems integration with
its networks, communications, and software products. This subseries contains the
documentation of this success, including Olsen’s correspondence, memoranda, personal
research, and product line administration at DEC. One key area of Olsen’s leadership at
DEC is documented in the meetings of the Works Committee, which later became the
Operations Committee. Meeting minutes from these committees and memoranda sent
between committee members are included in this subseries. Outside of DEC, Olsen
served on the President’s Science and Advisory Committee, a group of some of the
leading scientists and business leaders of the nation assembled to help President Nixon
make decisions on technological problems. Olsen also participated on the National
Academy of Science’s Computer Science and Engineering Board, a similar group made
up of industry leaders who advised government entities on the roles of the computer in
the U.S. economy and culture. Documents from both of these committees are included
in this subseries. In 1986, Olsen became the first recipient of the IEEE Engineering
Leadership Recognition Award and was named "America's most successful
entrepreneur" by Fortune magazine. Olsen was forced to retire from DEC in 1992 and
later became chairman of Advanced Modular Solutions. He died on February 6, 2011,
aged 84. This subseries contains records from Olsen’s time as a student at MIT in 1947
through his retirement from DEC in 1992. This subseries is arranged into eight subsubseries:

Sub-subseries 1.1.1, Correspondence, 1958-1992, bulk 1958-1970
This sub-subseries contains correspondence that Olsen received from others
and letters that Olsen authored. Most of the correspondence ranges from 1958 to
1970, with one outlier dated 1992. Also included in this sub-subseries are
promotional material and pamphlets attached to correspondence to Olsen. Some
of the early letters in this sub-subseries comprise ongoing correspondence with
Sidney Weinstein of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine detailing features of
the PDP-1 and ARC-1. Other correspondents in this sub-subseries include
Georges F. Doriot, who was an early investor in DEC; Robert S. McNamara while
McNamara was serving as U.S. Secretary of Defense; and David Packard.
Letters in this sub-subseries relate to the recruitment and interviewing of
prospective employees—including Win Hindle, questions from potential
customers about current and planned product offerings and prices, inquiries for
financial statistics, availability of stock in DEC, patent issues and infringement
claims, customer problems, and solicitations of support from charitable
organizations. Letters to Olsen and letters from Olsen were mostly kept in
separate folders, which were labeled with this distinction. Indices listing
correspondents and subjects of letters were also sometimes included in the front
or back of folders – though many of these indices are incomplete drafts. This
sub-subseries also contains unprocessed microfiche of Olsen’s correspondence.
This sub-subseries is arranged chronologically.
Sub-subseries 1.1.2, Memoranda, 1959-1984, bulk 1960-1970
This sub-subseries consists of internal DEC memoranda to and from Ken Olsen
primarily from the 1960s. These memoranda relate to: changing corporate
policies and procedures; customer relationships; sales call reports from Ted
Johnson; reports by various Engineers on recently-released, non-DEC products;
possible names for new products; alternate names for the PDP-1; appropriate
quantities of equipment to be kept on hand; proposals for manufacturing
equipment to be purchased or built; and discussions of design and manufacturing
aspects of work on particular machines. Matters pertaining to corporate structure
and manufacturing plant organization are also addressed. Memoranda to and
from Olsen were kept in separate folders, which were labeled accordingly. This
sub-subseries also contains a small amount of memoranda to and from Stephen
(Steve) A. Sobel, which were found in Olsen’s collection of memoranda. Sobel’s
memoranda relate to Schedule Review Committee meetings and other product
development and review activities for various DEC products. This sub-subseries
is arranged chronologically.

Sub-subseries 1.1.3, MIT Lincoln Laboratory memoranda and reports, 19471967
This sub-subseries contains the records that Olsen created and collected during
the time he was a student at MIT through the founding of DEC up until 1967. The
Lincoln Laboratory was a predecessor group for DEC, since Olsen worked there
immediately prior to founding DEC, and because many of DEC’s early
employees were also alumni of MIT, the Lincoln Laboratory, and MIT’s School for
Industrial Management. Most of the material in this sub-subseries consists of
memoranda, technical papers, and reports published by MIT’s Lincoln
Laboratory. MIT’s Servomechanisms Laboratory and Digital Computer
Laboratory, which were eventually absorbed by the Lincoln Laboratory, also
published material in this sub-subseries. Aside from memoranda and technical
papers, this sub-subseries also contains engineering drawings, schematic
diagrams, engineering notes, drafts of books on circuit theory and
thermodynamics, articles, Lincoln Laboratory administrative records, and one
promotional booklet published by Lincoln Laboratory introducing some of its
projects and functions. There is also a significant amount of material
documenting Project Whirlwind and the development of the Whirlwind I computer
at MIT’s Servomechanisms Laboratory. Other systems represented in this subsubseries include the TX-0 and TX-2 computers, which were designed and
developed under Olsen’s supervision. Lastly, this sub-subseries contains writings
authored by Olsen, including multiple printings of Olsen's thesis, "A Magnetic
Matrix Switch and its Incorporation into a Coincident-Current Memory," submitted
to MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. This
sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 1.1.4, Internal committees, 1964-1986
This sub-subseries consists of material created within specific date ranges from
three internal DEC committees: the Works Committee (1964-1967), the
Operations Committee (1968-1969), and the Marketing Sales/Strategy
Committee (1983-1986). Most of the records in this sub-subseries appear in the
form of meeting minutes and memoranda sent between committee members. In
1967, the Works Committee was renamed to the Executive Committee and then
renamed again to the Operations Committee. These committees had budgetary
control over all of the separate product lines at DEC. Product line managers,
group managers, and vice presidents had to go through the Works and
Operations committees to gain support for the products they managed. Records
from the earlier Works Committee include charts titled “Forecasted Product Line
Profitability Summary,” which chart and predict the finances of different DEC
product lines. Related topics covered in the Operations Committee meetings
include salary administration, product proposals, corporate reorganizations, and
DEC activities at trade shows. This sub-subseries also contains microfilm reels
from Operations Committee meetings ranging from 1970 through 1977. In 1983,
the Operations Committee was replaced by three new committees: the Product
Strategy Committee, the Marketing/Sales Strategy Committee, and the
Management Committee. For more material from the Works and Operations
committees, see “Subseries 9.2, Administrative records: Works and Operations
committees meeting minutes.” The last committee covered in this sub-subseries,
Marketing Sales/Strategy Committee (MSSC), relates to marketing strategies for

various DEC products, pricing proposals, revenue projections, and marketing
effectiveness studies. This sub-subseries is arranged chronologically.
Sub-subseries 1.1.5, President’s Science and Advisory Committee, 19671974
This sub-subseries contains memoranda, correspondence, press releases, and
reports from Olsen’s participation in the President’s Science and Advisory
Committee (PSAC). PSAC was created in 1951 under Harry S. Truman’s
administration to provide advisory opinions on science and technology to the
executive branch of the federal government and to influence government
agencies. Olsen participated in PSAC’s final years under the Nixon
administration, before Nixon eliminated the program in 1973. Some of the
records in this sub-subseries document the context behind the end of PSAC and
includes a letter from Olsen to the Office of the President resigning from his
position in PSAC. During Olsen’s participation, PSAC was divided into panels,
with four to six members with special expertise in each panel’s subject focus
advising the Science Adviser to the President, which in Olsen’s time was Edward
E. David Jr. Olsen mainly worked on panels relating to “civilian technology” and
programs that promoted research and development in science and technology.
However, this sub-subseries also contains records relating to other PSAC
initiatives, including health care, environmental health, energy, education,
population control, urban planning, and unemployment. This sub-subseries is
arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 1.1.6, Computer Science and Engineering Board, 1964-1972
This sub-subseries contains the records that Olsen collected during his time on
the National Academy of Science’s Computer Science and Engineering Board
(CS&E). The Computer Science & Engineering Board was created in 1968 by the
National Academy of Sciences to study the role of the computer in the economy
and culture of the nation. The Board also advised parts of the federal government
“to ensure U.S. leadership in the various fields of computer science and
engineering.” Olsen was involved in CS&E activities relating to a “computer
export problem” involving aspects of competition in international computing
industries. The CS&E panel that Olsen served was called the Export Panel.
Included in this sub-subseries are agendas and meeting minutes from various
CS&E meetings and conferences; administrative correspondence; National
Academy of Sciences overviews, directories, and promotional material;
Congressional records and legislative material; press releases; and information
related to developing programs for computer science education. Much of the
correspondence in this sub-subseries involves Anthony G. Oettinger, founder
and chairman of CS&E from 1967 to 1973 and Warren C. House, Executive
Secretary for the Board. This sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder
title.
Sub-subseries 1.1.7, Subject files, 1952-1990
This sub-subseries comprises material that Olsen collected on various topics
relating to research or DEC administrative concerns. Research topics covered in
this sub-subseries include military technologies, transportation, multinational
corporations and international trade, national productivity, and aeronautics. Some

subseries were stored with Olsen’s PSAC material and they seem to reflect some
of Olsen’s independent research as well. This sub-subseries also contains DECrelated records, including material relating to the "International Digital Clean
Room and Cleaning Technology Conference," DEC building blocks (system plugin units), a small number of personnel records, and memoranda about a
magnetic core memory patent. This sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by
folder title.
Sub-subseries 1.1.8, Product design and production, 1967-1979
This sub-subseries contains records collected by Olsen relating to the design and
production of various DEC products. Included in this sub-subseries are
memoranda, business plans, financial records, engineering status reports,

covered in this sub-subseries, the PDP-11 product line is the most documented.
This sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 1.2, Harlan Anderson papers, 1959-1966
This subseries is made up of material collected and created by Harlan E. Anderson, who
co-founded DEC in 1957 along with Ken Olsen after the two had worked together at
MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. Anderson served as DEC’s executive vice president until
1966, when he left after a falling out with Olsen. He managed finance, sales, and the
PDP-6 product line while at DEC. Material dates from 1959 to 1966. Most of this
subseries is made up of correspondence and memoranda to and from Anderson related
to various DEC technologies and systems—particularly the PDP subseries—clients, and
sales. Attachments like reports, diagrams, and articles are frequently included. Before
the entire collection was processed, 16 letters and memos from or to Anderson were
individually cataloged and digitized. Of particular interest within this digitized group is a
1961 proposal to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to use a PDP-1 during the Mariner
project, a 1959 memo about what to name the PDP series, and a 1959 list of prospective
PDP-1 customers. This subseries also contains DEC Biweekly Reports from 1959 to
1966, which detail progress and plans for various DEC projects. There is also a small
amount of material related to the development and lease of the PDP-6 line, including
operation plans, market analyses, product strategies, budgets, sales information, and
the details of a failed agreement with Charles W. Adams Associates to lease a PDP-6
for Adams' Keydata Corporation division, which was ultimately terminated due to DEC’s
failure to fulfill its obligations. The PDP-6 material is of particular interest because it
offers a glimpse of a system’s development from analysis to sale. Anderson was
involved with the Eastern Joint Computer Conference as the head of the publications
committee in 1959, and later the general chairman in 1966, and this subseries contains
a small amount of material related to the 1959 conference, including submitted papers, a
program, financial statements, and correspondence regarding proceedings. Lastly, there
is a small group of Small Computer Guidance Committee meeting minutes from 1964 to
1965. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 1.3, Win Hindle papers, 1958-1994
This subseries contains memoranda, notes, correspondence, and other material
primarily created by Winston R. Hindle Jr., Senior Vice President of DEC’s Corporate
Operations. Much of this subseries relates to the administrative committees that Hindle
participated in, including the Executive Committee and Operations Committee. Also

included are records reflecting business strategy and capital investment that DEC
received from sources external to the company. Of particular interest is the material in
this subseries relating to Georges F. Doriot, one of the first American venture capitalists.
Doriot founded one of the earliest venture capital firms, American Research and
Development Corporation (ARDC), which provided the initial capital for Ken Olsen and
Harlan Anderson to begin DEC’s operation. This subseries contains correspondence
from Hindle to Doriot, the transcript of a 1978 interview with Doriot, some of Doriot's
notes on DEC, and records from a Georges F. Doriot memorial service that DEC
participated in. Also included is a copy of the 1957 proposal for Doriot's firm, ARDC, to
invest in DEC. Other external guidance documented in this subseries came from The
Research Board Inc., an international think tank organization that guided DEC in
operational strategies. Other records in this subseries include a transcript of an interview
conducted with Hindle in 1994 and promotional material and development records for
early DEC products – including LINC (Laboratory INstrument Computer) and PDP-6.
This subseries had previously been arranged and divided into small series by the DEC
archives. Because of their small size, these original series from the DEC archives were
transferred into individual catalog records under this single subseries. The last series in
the DEC archives arrangement was titled “Miscellaneous.” Each topic that was
previously grouped under the miscellaneous series was given its own catalog record.
The arrangement of the material in this subseries reflects the original order of the DEC
archives series.

Sub-subseries 2.2.6, TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 software performance reports,
1983-1990
This sub-subseries contains software performance reports for various programs
within the TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 operating systems. TOPS-10 and TOPS-20
were both DEC operating systems used on PDP-10 computers. Most of these
reports address errors and possible diagnoses for specific software programs
written for TOPS-10 and/or TOPS-20. The reports reflect feedback and service to
clients of various organizations using TOPS-10 or TOPS-20 systems, as well as
other DEC employees using these systems. Specific programs with significant
amounts of documentation in this sub-subseries include instances of COBOL-74
and FORTRAN, with reports for these programs under both TOPS-10 and TOPS20. A small number of the software performance reports address problems with
software-related textual documents. In these cases, the reports are titled after the
document title, such as a manual title or an edition of the DEC periodical,
Software Dispatch. For the majority of this sub-subseries, folder titles are named
for each letter of the alphabet, and within the folders, the reports are arranged
alphabetically by each program name. The only exception to this system is with
the folders that were previously arranged consecutively by versions of the TOPS10 and TOPS-20 operating systems. This arrangement was preserved for those
cases. This sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 2.2.7, Manuals, 1965-1998
This sub-subseries comprises Litt’s collection of manuals, published by DEC and
other institutions. The majority of these manuals are published by DEC, but other
publishers include American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T), Control
Data Corporation (CDC), Hewlett-Packard, Tektronix, Xerox Corporation, IBM,
and Intel. Many of the manuals in this sub-subseries relate to the PDP-10
product line, including manuals for DECsystem-10, DECsystem-20, TOPS-10,
TOPS-20, KL10, and KS10. Also included is a significant amount of material for
PDP-11 and VAX-based systems. Programming languages are also welldocumented in this sub-subseries, including BLISS. Aside from manuals, this
sub-subseries contains smaller amounts of educational material, training guides,
maintenance manuals, sales guides, and technical summaries. These other
types of material were previously filed with related manuals so this arrangement
was preserved. For more of Litt’s educational material, sales guides, and
technical summaries, see “Sub-subseries 2.2.9, Course material” and “Subsubseries 2.2.4, Promotional and sales material.” Many of the manuals in this
sub-subseries are preliminary and/or incomplete drafts of manuals for internal

distribution and development. Some of these partial manuals were compiled into
“notebooks” (e.g., “TOPS-10 Software Notebooks”), which contained related user
documentation from different manuals, collected together into a single notebook
for a specific use. This sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 2.2.8, Periodicals, 1973-2002, bulk 1980-1998
This sub-subseries consists of Litt’s collected newsletters, magazines, catalogs,
and price lists published periodically. Most of this material was published by
DEC, but there is a small amount of periodicals published by other organizations.
Most of the catalogs, price lists, and “product summaries” of this sub-subseries
come from DEC’s Large Computer Group (LCG). LCG also published its own
magazines and newsletters, including the Large Computer Group Buy-Line and
Large Systems News, also both in this sub-subseries. Another magazine with a
significant amount of editions in this sub-subseries is Forefront, which was
published by DEC and then by Compaq after the latter acquired DEC in 1998.
Lastly, this sub-subseries contains microfiche collections of Software Dispatch, a
periodical published by DEC’s Software Maintenance Service and microfiche of
three DEC newsletters: Small Buffer, Large Buffer, and The Buffer. This subsubseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 2.2.9, Course material, 1974-1986
This sub-subseries contains Litt’s collection of course outlines, student handouts,
and seminar notes from his time at DEC. Most of this course material was
published by DEC’s Educational Services department, though material from other
DEC departments and other institutions are also included. Most of the records in
this sub-subseries relate to the TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 operating systems, which
were developed for DECsystem-10 and DECsystem-20 computers, all of which
fell under the PDP-10 family of mainframe computers. Other systems with
educational documentation in this sub-subseries include the ANF-10 network
protocol, a version of a program called Galaxy 4.1, UNIX, VMS 5.1, and the
BLISS programming language. Also see “Sub-subseries 2.2.7, Manuals” for more
instructional guides from DEC’s Educational Services department, but without
accompanying course outlines, notes, and/or student handouts. This subsubseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 2.3, Walter Metz papers, 1962-1991, bulk 1980-1991
This subseries contains Walter C. Metz’s papers from his engineering work in DEC’s
Advanced Semiconductor Development (ASD) Group. Metz’s engineering titles at DEC
included Principal engineer for semiconductor operations and also epitaxial/chemical
vapor deposition (CVD) process engineer. The majority of the records in this series
relate to Metz’s work with epitaxial (epi) growth research in complementary metal oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) development. Metz, collaborating with Gregory J. Grula,
invented at least two methods under this area of research and development titled
"Method for Forming Trench Isolated Regions with Sidewall Doping" and "Method of
Fabricating Trench Isolated Transistors with Sidewall Doping." Included in this series are
correspondence, laboratory results and analyses, Metz’s notebooks, patents,
specifications, and articles related to this work in semiconductor development. Metz was
also involved in a variety of partnerships between DEC and research entities, including
North Carolina State University’s (NCSU) Engineering Research Center (ERC); the
SEMATECH Center of Excellence (SCOE) on Advanced Single Wafer Processing; a
campus-based engineering center at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany; and the

Subseries 2.6, Dick Best papers, 1951-2001, bulk 1959-1984
This subseries consists of material collected by DEC chief engineer Richard (Dick) L.
Best, who began working at DEC in 1959 when he was hired to work on the PDP-1
design. Material dates from 1951 to 2001, with the bulk from 1959 to 1984. Best’s
papers were acquired by the museum in two separate donations (X2675.2004 and
X7042.2014), and this subseries is arranged into two sub-subseries, one for each
donation. The majority of material in each sub-subseries is focused on specific aspects
of Best’s job, but there is overlap on subjects and types of material in each subsubseries.
Sub-subseries 2.6.1, Committee and product development records, 1951-1990,

of engineers for job title reclassification. The Design Review Committee and
Engineering Committee have the most material. There is a large amount of
records on the research and development of different products and technologies,
such as memory systems, computer systems, wiring, video terminals, circuits,
and modules. Records on the research and development of modules is one area
where the two sub-subseries overlap. While the focus of sub-subseries 2.6.2 is
on modules, this sub-subseries does contain a small amount of material on the
subject. Also included here is a large amount of promotional material and product
specifications from other companies, plus correspondence between DEC and
those companies and its clients, and reports of trips DEC personnel took to visit
other companies with the purpose of learning more about their products. There is
also material on internal and industry standards; field service records;
manufacturing, sales, and pricing information; and memos from Ken Olsen from
1959 to 1983 that document the development of a variety of DEC technologies
and the growth of DEC as a company. This sub-subseries is arranged
alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 2.6.2, Module records, 1959-2001, bulk 1959-1973
This sub-subseries is almost entirely made up of material related to the research
and development of modules at DEC. Records date from 1959 to 2001, with the
bulk from 1959 to 1973. Best was in charge of module design at DEC. Just under
half of this sub-subseries consists of schematics for DEC modules, including FlipChips, VHF modules, and the G, H, K, M, and W series. There is also a large
number of module bulletins, module descriptions, module lists, option designation
lists, and option/module lists. Additionally, there are photographs, standards,

This subseries consists of Dileep P. Bhandarkar’s presentation material, notebooks, and
some correspondence related to his work managing DEC systems and their
architectures. The largest portion of this subseries relates to PRISM architecture
(Parallel Reduced Instruction Set Machine). Other systems and design strategies that
are documented in these records include VAX-11, PDP-11, reduced instruction set
computing (RISC), and large scale integration (LSI). The only job title listed in these
records for Bhandarkar is technical director of Mid Range Systems. In other DEC
documentation Bhandarkar is described as a principal engineer in the VAX-11/PDP-11
Systems architecture department and as leading the technical direction and product
strategy of Alpha Personal Systems, Alpha and VAX Servers, and High Performance
Computing. Bhandarkar also worked as Architecture Manager for MicroVAX, Chief
Architect for VAX Vector Processing, Technical Director for Base Platforms, and coarchitect on the PRISM RISC architecture on which Alpha is based. This subseries is
arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Series 3, Product managers’ papers, 1966-1997
This series contains the papers of DEC employees who were in charge of managing a specific
product line or “group” within DEC’s corporate structure. In 1964, DEC reorganized into a
business unit-oriented structure. After this restructuring, each business unit had a manager,
which DEC initially titled “product line managers.” Subsequently, product line managers became
“group managers” under DEC nomenclature. Many of the DEC managers grouped within this
series had “product line manager” or “group manager” in their titles at some point in their
careers. Some of the people grouped under this series did not have these terms in their job
titles, but were generally in charge of managing product development for specific product lines.
Also, many of the collections under this series cover multiple stages of each person’s career.
The decisions to group these subseries under “Project manager personal papers” were based
on the work that the majority of the records in each subseries reflect. DEC’s Alpha-based
systems have the most documentation in this series, covering its early development in the late
1980s to its release in 1992. Most of the people grouped in this series managed the Alpha
product line at different points in their careers, especially Supnik, Conklin, and Avery. The
earlier-developed VAX architecture and VAX-based systems are also well represented in this
series. The Peter Conklin and Bill Demmer papers in this series contain early documentation of
VAX’s beginnings, including systems migration instructions for DEC’s existing PDP-11
Computer History Museum

customers to migrate to VAX-based systems, VAX glossaries, early VAX architecture
development, strategic review meeting documents for EVAX, VAX-11/780 promotional
material, and multiple editions of the VAXnews newsletter. Other DEC products covered
in this subseries include Alpha, DECsystem-10, and OpenVMS. A major theme that
appears throughout this subseries is management strategies – especially strategies that
reflect Conklin’s methods in managing Alpha product development at DEC. Also
emphasized in these records are partnerships and collaborations between DEC and
other companies, including Olivetti, Cerner Corporation, IBM, and Mitsubishi. This
subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 3.4, Al Avery papers, 1978-1994
This subseries contains papers collected by Albert (Al) Avery from 1978 to 1994 related
to a variety of roles he worked in at DEC, including in the Alpha Systems Technical
Office working with Alpha AXP Systems, in software integration with the Advanced
Systems Group, as a product manager in High Performance Systems, and in
Engineering Processes and Systems. A large amount of material in this subseries is
focused on efforts to develop better internal processes within the engineering
departments and between engineering and DEC’s market-focused business units. This
material dates from 1989 to 1994, when DEC’s business was floundering and
management was looking for ways to improve the company’s standing with customers
and within the computer industry. Included are project presentations by the consulting
firm Booz Allen & Hamilton, internal process documents, revenue analyses, and
interviews with customers and DEC employees to gauge satisfaction with the company.
This subseries also includes material related to specific systems and technologies, such
as Alpha AXP and VAXclusters, DEC’s Stratton conference proceedings, and Avery’s
engineering notebooks. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 3.5, Roger Cady papers, 1974-1983
This subseries comprises Roger C. Cady’s correspondence and administrative records
from his work at DEC from 1974 to 1983. During these years Cady worked as a
manager for three different product groups at DEC: first as product line manager for the
Telephone Industry Products Group; then in multiple management roles under
Commercial Systems Marketing groups; and finally as group manager and vice
president of the Manufacturing, Distribution, and Control (MDC) Product Group. Of
particular interest in this subseries are notes and outlines of Cady’s presentations given
to clients, sales symposia, and conferences relating to his work in the MDC group –
including talks given for a visit by Philip Morris representatives to DEC, a Montgomery
securities seminar, and a White House meeting of the U.S. Council for World
Communications Year (1983). This subseries is arranged into two sub-subseries:
Sub-subseries 3.5.1, Correspondence, 1974-1983
Sub-subseries 3.5.2, Manufacturing, Distribution, and Control Product Group
records, 1980-1983
Sub-subseries 3.5.1, Correspondence, 1974-1983
This sub-subseries contains Cady’s letters, memoranda, and handwritten
messages primarily internal to DEC. From 1974 to 1977, most of Cady’s
correspondence occurred within DEC's TELCO Product Line when Cady worked
as product line manager for DEC's Telephone Industry Products Group. During
the following years, from 1978 to 1980, the bulk of Cady’s correspondence was
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

under DEC’s Commercial Marketing department – including related units called
Commercial Systems Marketing and Commercial Systems Group. During these
years Cady first worked as group manager for Commercial Systems Marketing
and then as director of marketing. The remaining years of Cady’s
correspondence relate to the management of DEC’s MDC product group. For
many of his files, Cady kept an “index to correspondence,” included at the
beginning of each month’s file, which lists the subjects, dates, and participants
for each month’s correspondence. A large portion of these files only contain
correspondence that Cady authored to others; however, for letters and
memoranda authored during Cady’s work under MDC, correspondence sent to
Cady by others was also filed. Correspondence from parts of 1977-1978 and
1980-1983 were not included with this donation. Lastly, Cady kept a file titled
“external correspondence,” containing letters between Cady and non-DEC
employees, but which were still primarily work-related. This sub-subseries is
arranged chronologically.
Sub-subseries 3.5.2, Manufacturing, Distribution, and Control Product
Group records, 1980-1983
This sub-subseries consists of material collected and created by Cady when he
worked as vice president and group manager of DEC’s MDC product group from
1980 to 1983. Most of the material in this sub-subseries concerns the planning
and management of this group’s operations and products, which were marketed
toward DEC’s clients with manufacturing activities to improve manufacturing
automation and productivity. One of MDC’s product lines that is well-documented
in this sub-subseries is the Unified Plant Management (UPM) line. To quote a
letter to DEC sales representatives: “UPM recognizes and provides short-term
solutions to issues such as cost control and productivity improvement and, at the
same time, allows for long-term planning and reduces investment risks.” This
sub-subseries includes records from MDC’s Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC)
meetings, which was formed to define the department's accounts and strategies.
Also included are notes and outlines of Cady’s speeches given to clients, sales
symposia, and conferences relating to his work in the MDC group. MDC
organizational charts and financial and performance reviews for this product
group are also in this sub-subseries. This sub-subseries is arranged
alphabetically by folder title.

under Central Engineering in 1994, headed by Vice President and Chief Technical
Officer Bill Strecker. Fuller’s Corporate Research and Architecture group (CRA) was
placed under ATG at this time. In 1996, Fuller became the head of ATG and the name
was changed to CTSS. The group’s main focus was to lead the development of DEC’s
corporate technical strategy, seek out and promote the development of innovative
technologies, provide technical services to the company, and encourage the
development of DEC’s technical staff. These records focus on the various groups within
ATG/CTSS, including the Corporate Standards Group (CSG), External Technology
Group (ETG), Internet Business Working Group (IBWG), Mobile Software Business
(MSB), Technical Competency Development Group (TCDG), Technology Strategy
Group (TSG), and Video and Interactive Information Services (VIIS). Also included is
material that documents the development of ATG/CTSS, including staff meeting
minutes, department overviews, hiring plans, business plans, project proposals, budgets,
licenses and agreements, and organizational charts. This subseries is arranged

Sub-subseries 4.3.1, External Research Program, 1980-1995
This sub-subseries consists of material related to DEC’s External Research
Program (ERP). Material dates from 1980 to 1995. Through ERP, DEC created
partnerships with the computer science and electrical engineering departments of
universities throughout the world, collaborating with them on research projects
that would benefit DEC’s own technologies and future products. DEC donated
funding, expertise, and equipment to the universities, and in return received not
only new technological advancements, but also a venue to market its products to
students and faculty, and a pool of potential employee recruits in graduating
university students. The majority of this sub-subseries consists of material related
to specific universities and their DEC projects, proposals, grants, and potential
future collaborations. Most universities are in the United States, with MIT,
Carnegie Mellon University, and Stanford University having the most material of
all the schools. There are also international schools represented, including
University of Tokyo; University of Bergen; University College, Dublin; Technical
University of Vienna; and University of Karlsruhe. There is also a small amount of
material related to the planning and development of ERP and the associated
Education Investment Review Board (EIRB), which focused on DEC's
relationships with and investment in educational institutions. This sub-subseries
is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 4.3.2, Research laboratories, 1984-1997
This sub-subseries contains material related to DEC’s Cambridge Research
Laboratory (CRL), Network Systems Laboratory (NSL), Paris Research
Laboratory (PRL), Systems Research Center (SRC), and Western Research
Laboratory (WRL). Material dates from 1984 to 1997. NSL, SRC, and WRL were
located in Palo Alto, California; CRL was located in Cambridge, Massachusetts;
and PRL was located in Paris, France. Almost half of the material in this subsubseries consists of published articles by PRL researchers and article
publication requests sent to Fuller for his approval. The rest of the material
documents research projects and the day-to-day administration of the labs,
including personnel issues, reactions to corporate restructuring, and the details
surrounding the moving of WRL and closing of PRL. This sub-subseries is
arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Sub-subseries 4.3.3, Planning and administrative records, 1976-1997, bulk
1983-1996
This sub-subseries is made up of material related to the planning and
administration of Corporate Research and Architecture (CRA) dating from 1976
to 1997, with the bulk from 1983 to 1996. About a quarter of the material consists
of CRA operating, strategic, and long-range plans from 1987 to 1996. Another
quarter of the material is related to groups within CRA, including the Performance
Technology Group (PTG), Massively Parallel Systems Group (MPSG),

Technical Planning and Development (TP&D). Also included are records related
to CRA budgets and finances, employee hiring and recruiting, product planning,
legal issues, intellectual property, facilities planning, staff meetings, public
relations, and the DEC periodical Research Quarterly. This sub-subseries also
contains DEC corporate materials that were likely used by Fuller in his
management of CRA, including a synopsis of staff development programs,
annual reports, financial overviews, and material on the Executive Partnership
Program (EPP). Also included is material related to DECworld and the
development of Digital Technical Journal and Digital Engineering Journal. This
sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 4.4, Other working groups, programs, and consortia, 1979-1997
This subseries contains material related to DEC internal working groups and programs
that Fuller had filed under “Internal Committees,” and external consortia that Fuller was
involved in. Material dates from 1979 to 1997. This subseries is arranged into two subsubseries:
Sub-subseries 4.4.1, Internal working groups and programs, 1979-1997
Sub-subseries 4.4.2, External consortia, 1984-1997
Sub-subseries 4.4.1, Internal working groups and programs, 1979-1997
This sub-subseries contains material related to DEC internal working groups and
programs, including committees, task forces, advisory boards, boards of
directors, and forums. Material dates from 1979 to 1997. Fuller was a member of
or involved with many of these working groups. These groups and programs
typically evaluated specific DEC programs and strategies and made
recommendations for future directions. The working groups with the most
material in this sub-subseries are the Corporate Contributions Committee, which
advised on corporate donations of cash and equipment; the Product Committee,
later called the Strategy Committee, which approved corporate product and
market strategies, reviewed and approved the budget for corporate research, and
reviewed product budgets and deliverables; the SIMD Task Force, which made
recommendations on DEC's massively parallel processing computing strategies;
the Strategic Intent Task Force, which developed a strategic intent for DEC that
described the company’s long-term vision to remain competitive in the
marketplace; and the Consulting Engineer Promotion Board (also called the
Consulting Engineer Review Board), which created the process and criteria for
the promotion of DEC engineers to senior consultant engineers, and vetted and
recommended candidates. This sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by
folder title, and the folder titles are the group or program names.
Sub-subseries 4.4.2, External consortia, 1984-1997
This sub-subseries contains material related to external consortia that Fuller was
involved with from 1984 to 1997. Almost half of the material is related to the
Computer Systems Policy Project (CSPP), now known as the Technology CEO
Council, which is a consortium of CEOs who work together to advance policies
that promote innovation and U.S. competitiveness through technology
leadership. DEC CEO Bob Palmer served as chairman of the CSPP from 1995 to
1997, and Fuller was a CSPP member as a senior research official. Material

includes letters to government officials from Fuller, and CSPP membership
rosters, meeting minutes, and meeting briefing books. Another consortium of
interest in this sub-subseries is the Cross-Industry Working Team (XIWT), a
group made up of organizations within the computer and telecommunications
industry that was created as a project of the Corporation for National Research
Initiatives (CNRI). Fuller was a board member of the CNRI. The XIWT was
tasked to develop a vision for the National Information Infrastructure (NII), which
was a goal of the Clinton Administration, with Vice President Al Gore being
particularly involved with the initiative. Other consortia in this sub-subseries
include the Computer Science Telecommunications Board, Open Software
Foundation, DECUS, and DARPA’s Information Science and Technology study
group. This sub-subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title, and the folder
titles are the consortia names.
Subseries 4.5, Presentations, 1977-1997
This subseries is made up of presentations and talks from 1977 to 1997 that were
primarily given by Fuller. When known, the name and date of the event on which the
presentation was given is listed in each record. Many of Fuller’s presentations are on the
future of computing and industry trends, or technology and research overviews of DEC,
which he gave at conferences, seminars, and colleges, and for clients and potential
customers. Other Fuller presentations are focused on the DEC departments he was a
part of, including the Office of Development, Advanced Technology Group, and
Corporate Research and Architecture. These talks were mostly given internally at staff
meetings and to leadership, and they include departmental overviews, strategic plans,
project updates, and business and project plan proposals. Fuller also collected
presentations by his co-workers, with CTO and Central Engineering Vice President Bill
Strecker and DEC CEO Bob Palmer having the most presentations. There is also a
small amount of material that Fuller filed as “general talk information,” which includes a
mix of DEC presentations; notes, outlines, and drafts of presentations and talks; articles
and other reference material; and an evaluation of Fuller's speaking style by an external
communication company. Finally, the last folder of this subseries contains the
presentation inventories that came with the donation. These include the presentations'
title, date, and event. Fuller’s original filing scheme was kept in the arrangement of this
series: He filed his own presentations—and a small number of presentations by others
or with no author listed—individually by presentation, and he primarily filed presentations
by others alphabetically by their name. This subseries is In its original order.
Subseries 4.6, External consultants, 1983-1995
This subseries contains material related to external consultants DEC hired to advise on
the company’s research and development, engineering, and product strategies. Material
dates from 1983 to 1995. Consultants include Duane Adams; Andersen Consulting;
Arthur D. Little; Bain & Company; Booz-Allen & Hamilton; Charles Ferguson; Robert
Kahn working with the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (NRI); Edward B.
Roberts working with PA Consulting Group; and Sutherland, Sproull, and Associates.
The material mainly consists of presentations, reports, and correspondence that provide
analyses and suggestions for improving DEC’s research and development, engineering,
and product strategies, and reports on the feasibility of developing specific products. The
material from Charles Ferguson focuses on the competition from the Japanese computer
industry. Also included is administrative material, like invoices and internal
correspondence about hiring choices. Of particular interest in this subseries is a letter
from Booz Allen Hamilton that outlines problems they observed with DEC's company

culture that they felt created particular challenges. This subseries is arranged
alphabetically by folder title, and the folder titles are the company or consultant names.
Subseries 4.7, Customers and collaborators, 1983-1997
This subseries is made up of material related to DEC’s customers and collaborators from
1983 to 1997. The companies and organizations in this subseries purchased products
and services from DEC, or entered into licensing agreements or mutually beneficial
research or production partnerships with DEC. Many companies were both customers
and collaborators, using DEC equipment and collaborating with them. The majority of
material is related to meetings DEC held with these companies to discuss partnership
opportunities or their customer accounts. Most customers and collaborators are
American corporations, but there is also material related to the U.S. government and
Chinese and Korean companies. The companies with the most material in this subseries
are MasPar, Intelligent Memory Technology Ltd. (IMTL), Philips, MAYA Design Group,
and MIPS Computer Systems. The MAYA Design Group material is related to a
collaborative project called the Hyperfax, and the MIPS material is primarily related to
the licensing of MIPS technology to DEC. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by
folder title, and the folder titles are the company names.
Subseries 4.8, Competitors, 1978-1996
Material in this subseries documents DEC’s monitoring of its corporate competition from
1978 to 1996. The companies with the most material in this subseries are IBM, Sun
Microsystems, Fujitsu, and Xerox. There is also material related to competition with the
Japanese computer industry. The majority of material consists of analyst reports and
competitive analyses of DEC’s competition, along with articles about the companies.
Also included are internal memos and reports related to meetings DEC had with these
companies, prospective collaborations with them, and strategies to compete with them.
This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title, and the folder titles are the
company names.
Subseries 4.9, Correspondence, 1988-1997
This subseries consists of correspondence and memoranda written to and from Fuller
from 1988 to 1997. He grouped the majority of material under internal or external
correspondence organized by year. He separately filed correspondence between himself
and Bill Strecker, DEC’s CTO and vice president of engineering; memoranda from Jack
Smith, DEC’s senior vice president of operations; and correspondence regarding a
speaking engagement by DEC President Ken Olsen at a 1989 Open Software
Foundation symposium. The memos from Smith are particularly interesting because they
reflect the financial distress DEC was in, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, discussing
budgets, business planning, hiring freezes, cutbacks, and the general feeling of
frustration that was felt throughout the company. Correspondence includes attachments,
and some includes replies. Fuller’s original filing system has been kept.
Series 5, Judy Hall TOPS-20 and Jupiter records, 1974-1989
The material in this series was created and collected by DEC software engineer Judith (Judy) S.
Hall from 1974 to 1989 and is related to the design of the PDP-10 operating system TOPS-20
and the PDP-10 Jupiter model. A little more than half of this series is made up of TOPS-20
material related to the writing of TOPS-20 programs, the development of the common file
system, the system architecture design, and applications terminal support. The rest of the
material is related to the Jupiter computer system, which was to be a high-end PDP-10 model,
but was canceled in 1983 before manufacture, along with the rest of the PDP-10 line. During

material consists of memoranda, specifications, reports, plans, and notes related to the
technical design development of the computer, including minutes and presentations from design
review and Jupiter Working Group meetings. There is also a small amount of material related
specifically to the DECsystem-20, which used TOPS-20, a prospective operating system design
called the New Operating System, and internal RAD proposals (Hall appeared to have been on
a committee that selected which proposals to fund each year). This series is arranged
alphabetically by folder title.
Series 6, Edward McDonough Far East Manufacturing Group records, 1976-1985
This series consists of DEC manufacturing records collected by Edward (Ed) B. McDonough,
group manager of DEC’s Far East Manufacturing Group and, later, vice president of
manufacturing. The records of this series document various facets of DEC’s manufacturing
activities in the late 1970s and early 1980s – including the widespread geographical areas
where DEC manufacturing facilities operated. Specifically, much of this series relates to the
manufacturing plants functioning under the Far East Manufacturing Group, which managed
DEC’s manufacturing activities in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. Types of
documents in this series include manufacturing plans, financial records, manufacturing
performance reports, administrative correspondence and planning, business plans, product cost
reports, and photographs depicting “Far East” manufacturing facilities and McDonough’s trips to
survey those locations. Also included are records regarding DEC’s relations with various
government entities – including correspondence between DEC employees, customs attorneys,
and customs officials relating to DEC's imports and exports of goods; documentation of DEC's
worldwide legal structure; and legal issues regarding the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations
Committee on U.S. trade relations with Japan and Taiwan and "Motorola's efforts to promote a
tougher U.S. stance on trade policy." This series is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Series 7, Ralph Dormitzer America's Cup records, 1982-1992
This series is primarily made up of material related to DEC’s sponsorship and donations to
racing syndicates during the America’s Cup yacht races between 1987 and 1992, with material
dating from 1982 to 1992. The material was collected by Ralph S. Dormitzer, who was involved
as a corporate liaison between DEC and the American racing syndicates. Dormitzer joined DEC
in 1982, working as a senior engineer and group manager for both the Desktop Interconnect
Products Group and Low End Networks and Communications Group. The majority of material is
related to the 1992 America’s Cup and DEC’s sponsorship of the America3 yacht and donation
of computers to be used by the crew during the race. Included are partnership proposals,
agreements, and planning records for the sponsorship and donations, plus plans for the
publicity DEC would receive in return. Also included are press releases and news clippings
about the race in general, DEC’s involvement, and the technology used; race programs and
schedules; and a DEC presentation on the technology they provided the America3. A smaller
amount of material is related to DEC’s involvement in the 1987 Cup and sponsorship proposals
for races planned for 1988 and 1991. DEC donated two MicroVAX IIs, software, and
maintenance to the American yacht the Stars & Stripes to be used during the 1987 Cup to
collect and analyze conditions during the race. The defender that year, the Kookabura III, also
used MicroVAX IIs. There is also a small amount of material related to DEC’s sponsorship of the
sailing of the tall ship Spirit of Massachusetts in the Gran Regata Colon in San Juan, Puerto
Rico, in 1992 in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus' 1492 expedition. This series
is arranged alphabetically by folder title, and the ships’ names are used in the folder titles to
differentiate between races.
Series 8, Oral history collection, 1978-1993, bulk 1987-1991
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

This series contains transcripts and audiotape recordings from oral history interviews with DEC
employees and board members from 1978 to 1993, with the bulk from 1987 to 1991. Many of
these transcripts are not dated, but it appears they are from the mid to late 1980s and into the
early 1990s. In general, the oral histories focus on how the interviewee came to work at DEC,
their educational and professional background, and what projects they worked on at DEC. Quite
a few of the transcripts mention a book that is being put together, so it is assumed that those
oral histories were being gathered as source material for the book. Unfortunately, the name of
the book is never stated, so it is unknown if it was ever published. Several other transcripts are
focused on the interviewee’s memories of the venture capitalist Georges Doriot, who invested in
DEC when the company was just getting started. Notable interviewees include Ken Olsen,
Gordon Bell, Bill Strecker, Bob Palmer, William McLean, Barbara Stephenson, Win Hindle, Jay
Forrester, Georges Doriot, and Bob Glorioso. The oral history transcripts and audiotapes are
grouped alphabetically by the interviewee’s last name, and each record and folder lists the
names of the included people; there is one oral history that has no name attached to it. Among
the oral histories are a few lecture transcripts, including a group from a Harrison Conference of
an unknown date. Finally, signed interview agreements are included. This series is arranged
alphabetically by folder title.
Series 9, Administrative records, 1958-1998, bulk 1970-1992
This series comprises a variety of administrative material—internal to DEC’s staff—relating to
corporate communications, operations, and finances. A large portion of this series consists of
Internal newsletters published by different departments, manufacturing plants, and geographic
regions where DEC operated. Another important part of this series is the subseries containing
the meeting minutes and correspondence of the Works Committee, Executive Committee, and
Operations Committee, which held budgetary control over all of the separate product groups at
DEC and greatly influenced corporate structure and policy. Finance and policy are reflected in
other parts of this series as well, with corporate policy guides—including DEC’s company
identity manuals—and financial records, such as earnings results and balance sheets from
DEC’s accountants. Manufacturing activities are also documented in this series, with
photographs of facilities, documentation of multiple plants’ design and construction, and plans
for specific product manufacturing. Other parts of this series relate to personnel events, policies,
personal narratives, and training. Lastly, DEC clients and patterns of revenue generated by
these clients are listed and analyzed in this series. This series is arranged into nine subseries:
Subseries 9.1, Internal newsletters, 1973-1998
Subseries 9.2, Works and Operations committees meeting minutes, 1962-1968
Subseries 9.3, Manufacturing plant records, 1968-1989, bulk 1968-1981

This subseries contains Internal newsletters published by various departments and
facilities at DEC. The newsletter with the most editions in this subseries is Digital This
Week, published by the Employee Communications Group within DEC’s Public
Relations Department. Another title that is well represented in this subseries is MGMT
MEMO, which was distributed to all of DEC’s managers and supervisors “to help them
understand and communicate to their employees key business information about the
company.” Some of the newsletters in this subseries were published by and for specific
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

manufacturing plants, including publications for DEC facilities in Colorado Springs, CO;
Salem, NH; Westminster, MA; and Maynard, MA. Other Internal newsletters cover whole
geographic regions, such as the New Hampshire View, published for various facilities in
New Hampshire; Digital Europa and LINK-UP, both published by Digital Equipment
Corporation International Europe; Ayrlines (Digital Scotland); Digitalaren (Sweden); and
Digitalk, for employees working in the South Pacific Region. This subseries also contains
multiple newsletters published within DEC’s Personnel department, including: Digital
Personnel Bulletin, Digital Personnel World, Personnel Department Newsletter, and
Personnel Perspectives. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 9.2, Works and Operations committees meeting minutes, 1962-1968
This subseries consists of meeting minutes, correspondence, and administrative
material relating to DEC’s Works Committee, Executive Committee, and Operations
Committee. In 1967, the Works Committee was renamed to the Executive Committee
and then renamed again to the Operations Committee, but all three held the same
functions and responsibilities. Most of the material in this subseries was created under
the names Works Committee and Operations Committee, though a smaller amount of
records came out of the 1967 Executive Committee. Other meetings and committees
that are mentioned in this subseries include the Product Line Managers meetings and
the Marketing Committee. These committees had budgetary control over all of the
separate product lines at DEC. Product line managers, group managers, and vice
presidents had to go through the Works and Operations committees to gain support for
the products they managed. Committee meetings documented in this subseries cover
budgeting and financial forecasts for all of DEC’s departments, executive
responsibilities, product plans, personnel compensation, business plans, and monthly
reports by vice presidents and group managers. One of the meetings from 1964 included
planning material for the implementation of DEC's restructuring into groups based on
products with product line managers "who would feel responsible for all of the details of
each computer system." This subseries also contains the 1965 Works Committee ballot,
which were filled out by all Works Committee members projecting sales volumes for
different products from 1965 to 1967. This ballot also contains responses from
committee members regarding forecasts for estimated numbers of people at DEC, new
products to be introduced, "industry position desired," and "rent or not rent." Ballots in
this subseries were filled out by DEC’s early leaders, including Ken Olsen, Win Hindle,
Gordon Bell, Dick Best, Maynard Sandler, and Richard Mills. In 1983, the Operations
Committee was replaced by three new committees: the Product Strategy Committee, the
Marketing/Sales Strategy Committee, and the Management Committee. For more
material from the Works and Operations committees, see “Sub-subseries 1.1.4, Ken
Olsen papers: Internal committees.” This subseries is arranged chronologically.
Subseries 9.3, Manufacturing plant records, 1968-1989, bulk 1968-1981
This subseries contains records regarding the design, construction, and administration of
DEC’s manufacturing plants. Facilities that are especially well represented in this
subseries include two manufacturing plants in Puerto Rico and an office, administration,
and engineering facility in Maynard, Massachusetts. Cost estimates for construction,
building contracts and codes, blueprints, and project proposals and correspondence with
third-party companies relating to the building of these facilities are included in this
subseries. Some of this material relates to the administration and maintenance of DEC
facilities after they have started operating. For example, the final assembly and test
(FA&T) facility in Salem, New Hampshire—also known as Salem Systems—is
documented in this subseries with photographs from a 1978 employee art show and
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

promotional overviews and pamphlets celebrating the plant’s history and achievements.
Also included are business plans for specific manufacturing projects and documentation
of facility-wide policies and performance reports. And there are a small number of
reproductive prints depicting aerial views of various manufacturing plants. For more
material focusing on DEC’s facilities, see “Sub-subseries 11.1.1, Public Relations
department records: Central files: Site affairs.” This subseries is arranged alphabetically
by folder title.
Subseries 9.4, Customer accounts and bookings, 1969-1988
This subseries contains material relating to DEC’s customers and clients, primarily
created within the Corporate Accounts department. A significant amount of this
subseries consists of lists of customer accounts generated by DEC’s Customer History
Database to analyze different patterns in revenue, location, and types of customers. Also
included are reports relating to models and processes that were used in the analysis of
this account data, such as the Account Driven Resource Deployment Plan (ADRD) and
the Account Business and Operating Plan (ABOP). Of interest in this subseries is a
transcript of an interview with Kenneth Farmer, who was the vice president of
Management Information Services and Administration at Abbott Laboratories. The ways
in which this transcript was titled and filed suggest that DEC conducted many interviews
with customers, but only Farmer’s was included in this donation. Also of interest is
material that DEC sent to Lawrence Academy documenting equipment that the school
acquired from DEC, including hardware checklists and a bibliography of PDP-8/I
software manuals. Lastly, this subseries holds a collection of microfiche that mostly
consists of DECsystem-10 contracts, alphabetized by client. This subseries is arranged
alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 9.5, Corporate policy guides, 1976-1992, bulk 1986-1992
This subseries consists of internal reference guides and handbooks relating to DEC
policies, procedures, departmental standards, and management guidelines. Examples of
resources in this subseries include company identity manuals published by DEC’s

Datasystems, and DECdataway. Another large part of this subseries consists of
promotional brochures for various products and systems, including PDP, memory and
storage, MINC, personal computers, printers, Alpha, power distribution systems, the
WS200 series of word processors, and software. These range from small leaflets to
larger booklets that provide overviews and specifications, but in a less-detailed form than
the technical overviews. There is also a small amount of advertisements, including a
large Alpha poster, full-page-spread VAX ads, and a book of DEC advertisements from
1969. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 14.4, External product and technology periodicals, 1968-1998, bulk
1978-1993
This subseries is made up of periodicals DEC published for promotional purposes. They
date from 1968 to 1998, with the bulk from 1978 to 1993. The majority of these
periodicals are newsletters and magazines that focus on a specific DEC product,
service, or technology and are geared toward current users. The periodicals feature
articles with usage tips, announcements of new DEC products, and recommendations
for other DEC products. The periodicals with the most issues in this subseries include
Customer Update, VAXcluster Systems Quorum, and EDU magazine. This subseries is
arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 14.5, Sales update, 1970-1996
This subseries contains issues of DEC’s Sales Update from 1970 to 1996. Sales Update
was a newsletter for DEC’s sales staff that provided information about new DEC
products and competitors’ products. Most years contain a complete or nearly complete
run of issues, though there is only one issue from 1996 (June). Issues of Sales Update
span 10 record cartons, but for ease of use, each folder in these cartons is sub-labeled
with the issue dates, and an index of dates within each box is available from a CHM
archivist. Also included are cumulative indices from 1975 to 1984, and a contributor’s
guide from 1983. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 14.6, Internal sales guides, 1960-1997, bulk 1967-1992
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

This subseries is made up of reference guides, newsletters, magazines, policies, and
product descriptions used by DEC’s sales force from 1960 to 1997, with the bulk from
1967 to 1992. Salespeople used this material to learn about the products they were
selling so they could provide correct and useful information to their customers. Material
is related to a wide variety of DEC products, including PDP systems, VAX, MicroVAX,
personal computers, modules, and software. There is a large number of software
product descriptions, option/module hardware and software lists, and issues of the
sales-related magazine DECsell. There are also several newsletters specific to DEC
products and services, including PDP-8 and PDP-11, commercial OEMs, and the latest
news from DEC’s Central Engineering and Large Computer Group. Also included is a
small amount of DEC sales policy and procedure guides and training material. This
subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 14.7, Annual reports and corporate overviews, 1965-2000, bulk 19801993
This subseries is made up of DEC annual and quarterly reports, and corporate
overviews and histories from 1965 to 2000, with the bulk of material from 1980 to 1993.
Annual reports date from 1965 and 1985 to 1997. Also included are Compaq annual
reports from 1998 and 2000, after Compaq acquired DEC, and a Digital UK annual
report from 1992. Quarterly reports and annual shareholder meeting reports date from
1973 and 1980 to 1993. Finally, there are two books that provide an overview and
history of DEC as a corporation: Digital Equipment Corporation: Nineteen Fifty-Seven to
the Present (1977) and Digital at Work: Snapshots from the First Thirty-Five Years
(1992). This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Series 15, Technical newsletters and journals, 1963-1998, bulk 1980-1998
This series is made up of technical newsletters and journals published by DEC for its employees
and the public. Issues date from 1963 to 1998, with the bulk from 1980 to 1998. All but one of
the publications in this series were published for internal use only. The one publically available
publication is the refereed Digital Technical Journal, which printed articles about the
technologies behind DEC’s products written by the DEC engineers who developed them. The
purpose of the internal newsletters and journals was to provide DEC employees from a range of
departments with the latest technological developments and product information from DEC,
DEC’s competitors, and the worldwide industry. This series is arranged in two subseries:
Subseries 15.1, Internal technical newsletters, 1963-1998, bulk 1980-1994
Subseries 15.2, Technical journals, 1985-1998
Subseries 15.1, Internal technical newsletters, 1963-1998, bulk 1980-1994
This subseries is made up of technical newsletters and periodicals published by DEC for
its employees. Material dates from 1963 to 1998, with the bulk from 1980 to 1994. The
newsletters with the most issues in this series include CSO Update, Competitive Update,
Engineering Newsletter, European Technology News, and Japan Review. This subseries
is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 15.2, Technical journals, 1985-1998
This subseries consists of technical journals published by DEC for internal use and for
the public from 1985 to 1988. Almost the entire subseries is made up of issues of the
refereed Digital Technical Journal from 1985 and 1990 to 1998. The rest of the
subseries contains issues of internal journals geared toward specific technical groups
within DEC, including IM&T Journal, Strategic Technologies Journal, Power Supply, and
Power Systems. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder table.

Series 16, Manuals, 1960-1999, bulk 1962-1991
This series comprises a large collection of manuals, most of which were published by DEC and
lent to employees for various uses. Systems that are well-documented in this series include
ALL-IN-1, DECnet, MicroVAX, PDP-8, PDP-10, PDP-11, ULTRIX, VAX, and VMS. Some of
these manuals appear in the form of educational and training material for employees and
customer end users. Other manuals in this series were published as small-sized handbooks,
reference cards, and documentation kits for specific DEC systems or series of systems. A small
amount of these manuals consist of maintenance manuals created for field use. For largerformat maintenance manuals, see “Subseries 10.6, Product lifecycle records: Engineering
drawings and field maintenance documentation.” Each catalog record under this series
describes a box of manuals. These catalog records contain title lists taken directly from an
inventory created at DEC, with each box’s full list of titles represented in its corresponding
catalog record. DEC had already ordered these manuals within each box and that order is
preserved in this series’ arrangement.
Series 17, Technical reports, 1971-1996, bulk 1980-1993
This series consists of technical reports published by DEC’s research laboratories, market
research departments, and Human Factors Department. Each subseries of reports is arranged
by a distinct report numbering scheme originally imposed by DEC. Research topics covered in
these reports largely relate to the testing and evaluation of different DEC products and systems.
Specifically, reports focus on user experience, ergonomics, comparisons between different
systems (and the companies producing them), and various aspects of human-computer
interaction. Other topics in these reports include research methodologies, reference guides and
tutorials, analyst reports on DEC’s markets and the competitors in those markets, and
documentation of the research laboratories themselves -- such as annual reports and
prospectuses. Catalog records for this series document authors and publishers when they
appear frequently across reports, but the listing of these elements is not exhaustive. Most of
these reports’ title lists and supplementary descriptions that appear in each respective catalog
record were taken directly from an inventory created at DEC. This series is arranged into five
subseries:
Subseries 17.1, Technical reports library, 1971-1993
Subseries 17.2, Human Factors Department usability and ergonomics studies, circa
1970-1992, bulk 1980-1992
Subseries 17.3, Market research analyst reports, 1985-1993
Subseries 17.4, Systems Research Center reports, 1984-1996
Subseries 17.5, Research laboratory technical notes and reports, 1986-1995
Subseries 17.1, Technical reports library, 1971-1993
This subseries comprises DEC’s library of technical reports organized by their original
DEC-TR number sequence. The technical reports in this subseries were published by a
variety of departments and research laboratories at DEC. However, departments that
are relatively well-represented include DEC’s Corporate Research Group, Digital
Industrial Design, Eastern Research Laboratory, Physical Technology Group, and
Technical Administration & Operations Group. Authors frequently represented in this
subseries include Charles Abernethy, Raj Jain, and K. Akagi. Topics covered in these
reports include the testing and evaluation of specific systems, user experience research,
reference guides and tutorials, comparisons between different technologies, quality
studies, and surveys. Catalog records under this subseries include title lists taken
directly from an inventory created at DEC, with each report title represented. For some
reports, DEC’s inventory included supplementary descriptions beyond the title that
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

reflect the contents of reports on a more granular level. These supplementary
descriptions are attached to catalog records as separate documents. This subseries is
arranged alphabetically by folder title, which reflects the reports’ original sequence by
DEC-TR number.
Subseries 17.2, Human Factors Department usability and ergonomics studies,
circa 1970-1992, bulk 1980-1992
This subseries consists of reports published by DEC’s Human Factors (HF) Department
from 1970 to 1992 with the bulk from 1980 to 1992. The Human Factors Department
studied human interaction with DEC products and documentation and made
recommendations for usability, installation, and ergonomics. Reports on a wide variety of
systems, products, components, and manuals are included. Most of the reports are
labeled using an HF numbering scheme, but two folders’ worth of reports are labeled
using GDL (guidelines) and INF (information) numbering. This subseries is arranged
alphabetically by folder title, which reflects the reports’ original sequence by HF, GDL,
and INF number.
Subseries 17.3, Market research analyst reports, 1985-1993
This subseries consists of reports published by DEC’s Market Information Services
Group from 1985 to 1993. The Market Information Services Group studied the market for
computer products, services, and technologies; DEC’s products and services; and
DEC’s competitors. Almost all of the reports are referred to as Custom Research Service
(CRS) reports, but this name later changes to Consulting and Research Service (CRS),
and then later to Market Research and Analysis Service (MRAS). Reports follow a
numbering scheme that includes either CRS or MRAS before the report number. This
subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title, which reflects the reports’ original
sequence by CRS and MRAS number.
Subseries 17.4, Systems Research Center reports, 1984-1996
This subseries comprises technical reports published by DEC’s Systems Research
Center (SRC), based in Palo Alto, California. Authors represented in these reports
include Leslie Lamport, Luca Cardelli, Martin Abadi, John Hershberger, and Roy Levin.
Topics covered in these reports include methods of visualizing computational geometry
and animating algorithms, methodology guidelines, systems tests and tutorials, and
reports related to the Modula-3 programming language. Most of these reports are
labeled using a DEC-TR numbering scheme, though some have report numbers that are
not preceded by identifying acronyms. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by
folder title, which reflects the reports’ original sequence by report number.
Subseries 17.5, Research laboratory technical notes and reports, 1986-1995
This subseries contains technical notes and reports that were grouped by the research
laboratories that published them. The 3 DEC research laboratories represented in this
subseries are: the Cambridge Research Laboratory, the Paris Research Laboratory, and
the Western Research Laboratory. The majority of reports in this subseries were
published by the Western Research Laboratory, based in Palo Alto, California. Authors
frequently represented in these reports include David W. Wall, Jeffrey C. Mogul, and
Andreas Podelski. See “Subseries 17.1, Technical reports library” for a small amount of
reports published by the Eastern Research Laboratory that were interfiled with other
publishers. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Series 18, Exhibit records, circa 1950-1988, bulk 1988
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

The majority of material in this series was created and collected by Sara Bettles when she was
in charge of project implementation for an exhibit on workstations as part of DEC’s Historical
Collection. Material dates from around 1950 to 1988, with the bulk from 1988. The Historical
Collection was started in 1988 as a series of permanent exhibits housed in DEC’s corporate
offices that showcased the company’s product history. The Historical Collection of Digital
Workstations Bettles worked on was planned as a permanent exhibit at DEC’s Marlborough,
Massachusetts, facility when the building opened in the fall of 1988. Bettles’ papers include
correspondence with and personal narratives from DEC workstation designers and developers;
research on the history of DEC's workstations, including the PDP series; drafts of a timeline that
shows the release of DEC workstations alongside other events in world history; drafts of the
project plan; material related to the search for a designer for the exhibit; and a draft of a book
manuscript called The Digital Difference. In addition, there is material related to other Historical
Collection exhibits that did not come from Bettles. This includes microfiche of Whirlwind and
PDP-8 documentation, and catalogs that provide photocopies of and descriptive information
about photos used in other exhibits. DEC’s Historical Collection later evolved into the Digital
Archives and History Program; see Subseries 9.7, Administrative records: Business and
operational plans for material related to that transition. This series is arranged alphabetically by
folder title.
Series 19, Non-DEC publications, 1963-1998
This series contains publications not published by DEC, though the majority of material is
related to DEC and its products. Material dates from 1963 to 1998. Almost the entire series is
made up of the newspapers Digital News, Digital Review, and Digital News & Review from 1983
to 1996. Digital News and Digital Review were printed concurrently by different publishers until
1992, when Digital Review acquired Digital News and combined the papers into Digital News &
Review. Earlier issues of Digital News focused on VAX systems, while the later issues focused
more broadly on DEC and open systems management. Digital Review initially focused on DEC
microcomputing, but later broadened its focus to DEC computing, workstations, connectivity,
and testing. Once the two newspapers combined into Digital News & Review, the new
periodical’s tagline was “the independent news, lab, and technology source for the Digital
world." Also included in this series is Adolf F. "Sonny" Monosson’s newsletters that focused on
DEC, Monosson on DEC and The Monosson report on DEC and IBM, and a handful of other
DEC-related newsletters and press releases. The material in this series that is not related to
DEC includes manuals, engineering drawings, and specifications from IBM, Iomec,
Dataproducts, Charles Beseler Company, Texas Instruments, Varian, and Interdata; IBM
training materials; and various newsletters and periodicals. This series is arranged
alphabetically by folder title.
Series 20, Photo library documentation, 1957-2002
This series is made up of logbooks, catalogs, and finder’s guides for DEC’s corporate photo
library that date from 1957 to 2002. Starting with the company’s founding in 1957, DEC kept a
logbook of its corporate photographs, which were taken by staff and outside photographers.
This series contains those original logbooks, which list the photos numerically based on a
sequential identification number. Photos were entered into the logbooks inconsistently over the
years, and there are gaps in numbering. Most entries include a description of the photo along
with the date and identification number. After 1975, the logbooks also frequently list the name of
the photographer and the name of the person who requested the photo be taken. Later, an
alphabetical version of this logbook was created, with photos and their identification numbers
and descriptions listed under subject headings. In addition to the logbooks, this series includes
the photo library’s card catalog, which consists of 25 drawers of index cards organized
numerically and alphabetically. Like the logbooks, the card catalog is inconsistent and contains
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

gaps in numbering, and some cards are slightly out of order, but the cards often provide more
detailed information than the logbooks. The logbooks and card catalog are best used together to
help fill in the other’s missing information. This series also contains two finder’s guides for the
library. One was made as a guide to the library’s photos that were used in the book Digital at
Work: Snapshots from the First Thirty-Five Years. Only about half of the photos used in that
book were identified in the library, and these were added to a database to make searching for
them easier. Two printouts of that database, sorted by page number and by subject, are
included in this series. There is also a guide to the photo library written by its longtime manager,
Nancy Strader, after DEC’s acquisition by Compaq, and later Hewlett-Packard. This guide gives
a good overview of the library’s history and the changes made to it when it moved from DEC to
Compaq and then HP. It also describes the methods DEC used for storage, arrangement,
accession, and indexing of the photos in the library, in addition to the photos’ condition, format,
and content. This series is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Series 21, Still images, 1956-1998
This series comprises the Digital Equipment Corporation Photo Library and Archive. The
Corporate Photo Library was one of the first departments at DEC, with its phone number listed
in the company’s 1957 single-page directory. The photo library combines DEC’s collection of
over 13,000 files of vintage prints, negatives, transparencies, contact sheets, and proof prints
that document its products and corporate history. Included are portraits of staff, promotional
photographs for products, shots of client institutions using DEC equipment, aerial photographs
of DEC facilities and real estate, group shots showing DEC’s corporate culture and personnel,
visuals used in presentations, and images used in DEC’s various publications, such as its
employee newspaper, Digital Today. The photo library was staffed by several photographers,
and later librarians, who organized and maintained the collection into series by format and use.
These subseries and their arrangements have been preserved, with some edits to subseries
titles to improve access and use by the public. See “Series 20, Photo library documentation” for
DEC’s original descriptive data, including a card catalog, logbooks, and a finding aid written by
DEC’s photo library manager when she was at Compaq and later Hewlett-Packard after DEC’s
acquisition. Most of the catalog records in this series were written with content taken directly
from the photo library’s card catalog and logbooks. DEC’s comprehensive file numbering
system applies to most of the subseries of the photo library, specifically subseries 21.1, 21.2,
21.3, 21.5, 21.6, and 21.7. Each of the files in these six subseries is marked by a file number,
which ties together images from the same photo shoot. For example, the negatives in file
number “7327” of “Subseries 21.7, Negatives” will match the slides and transparencies in file
“7327” of “Subseries 21.1, Client applications slides.” The photo library’s file numbers begin at 1
and range to 15421, though DEC did not use many of the numbers within this range so there
are numerical gaps within each subseries. Also, many of the envelopes that DEC used to house
these photographs were labeled with a file number, but were empty of contents. These empty
envelopes were especially numerous in “Subseries 21.7, Negatives.” The files for these empty
envelopes were not cataloged, though a list was kept of empty file numbers and attached to this
collection’s acquisition record. The subseries that are arranged sequentially by DEC’s file
numbers are mostly in chronological order. In Subseries 21.3 and 21.6, files are arranged
alphabetically by each folder’s title, and even though their file numbers are not in numerical
order, they still correspond with the file numbers of other subseries. However, in Subseries 21.3
and 21.6, DEC combined images from different photo shoots under the same subject title so
most of the records for these two subseries contain multiple file numbers for each catalog
record. The contents of Subseries 21.4, 21.8, and 21.9 have isolated filing systems that do not
correspond to the other subseries’ file numbering system. This series is arranged into nine
subseries:
Subseries 21.1, Client applications slides, 1972-1988
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

Subseries 21.2, Product promotion slides and transparencies, 1964-1999, bulk 19781998
Subseries 21.3, General slides and transparencies, 1956-1998, bulk 1974-1992
Subseries 21.4, Samuels Studio negatives, 1960-1969, bulk 1960-1962
Subseries 21.5, Archival proofs, 1963-1975
Subseries 21.6, Proofs, 1963-1996, bulk 1974-1988
Subseries 21.7, Negatives, 1957-1998
Subseries 21.8, Digital Today, 1995-1998
Subseries 21.9, Presentation slides and scripts, 1976-1989
Subseries 21.1, Client applications slides, 1972-1988
This subseries consists of slides—and a small number of larger transparencies without
slide mounts—showing DEC systems installed and in use at a number of client
companies and institutions worldwide. One product line that is featured in many of these
“applications” photographs is the PDP-10 mainframe computer family, including images
of the DECsystem-10, DECsystem-20, and KL10. Other systems that are frequently
shown in these photographs include various models of PDP-11 and VAX-11
minicomputers and VT52 and VT100 video terminals. Types of clients and institutions
pictured in these photographs where DEC products were being used include hospitals,
airports, government agencies, universities, large corporations, and laboratories. For
most of the photographs in this subseries, existing documentation specified the products
and institutions depicted in the images. However, there are cases where the client
institution was not named and also instances where the same system is shown in
various locations within the same file. There are also slides in this subseries that do not
include shots of any DEC products. For example, there are 3 different files that involve
photographs of Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. Only 1 of these 3 files contains
shots that picture a DEC product (PDP-11/70). The other two files that feature Logan
Airport contain shots of an American Airlines terminal, airplanes on the runway, and
handlers loading DEC equipment (not visible in the images because they were already
packed in crates) to be sent to Australia. This subseries is arranged by catalog number
to reflect the original order of the DEC Photo Library file numbers. DEC’s file numbers
are mostly in chronological order, with some exceptions.
Subseries 21.2, Product promotion slides and transparencies, 1964-1999, bulk
1978-1998
This subseries contains images of DEC products used in promotional material. The DEC
Photo Library originally titled the images in this subseries, the “brochure files” -- as most
of these images were used in DEC brochures. However, starting in the mid 1990s,
librarians began to use the “brochure files” almost exclusively for product photo
submissions. Such submissions had purposes not limited to product promotion, including
uses for product identification and photo duplication. According to DEC’s Photo Library
finder’s guide, this shift was due to an “increased demand for ‘rush’ status photo
duplication, the shorter shelf life (until the next upgrade) for computer products, and staff
cutbacks in the mid 1990s.” The expanded uses of the “brochure files” “expedited
retrieval and eliminated the variety of possible places to file photos.” Some of the files in
this subseries, starting in the mid 1990s, only contain textual lists of images submitted to
the library, without the actual images. Some of these submission lists appear in the form
of correspondence. The images in this subseries are positive film transparencies in 4 x 5
in., 2 ¼ in., or 35 mm slide formats. Two brochures documented in this subseries that
include collections of images on a wide range of years and products are the
“Engineering Milestones” brochure and the “Computing Timeline” brochure. Aside from
Computer History Museum

Digital Equipment Corporation records

X2675.2004

images used in brochures, this subseries contains files with collections of images
gathered together for purposes of historical documentation. For instance, one file
contains images used in the book published by DEC titled, Digital At Work: Snapshots
From the First Thirty-Five Years. This subseries is arranged by catalog number to reflect
the original order of the DEC Photo Library file numbers. DEC’s file numbers are mostly
in chronological order, with some exceptions.
Subseries 21.3, General slides and transparencies, 1956-1998, bulk 1974-1992
This subseries is made up of slides and transparencies, and a very small number of
prints and negatives, that capture a wide range of DEC activities, facilities, and products
from its entire history. They date from 1956 to 1998, with the bulk from 1974 to 1992.
The majority of images are of DEC products, most of which were staged and taken in
studios or in office settings, often for publicity or sales purposes. These cover the entire
range of DEC’s products, from modules to computer systems and peripherals. There are
also many staged and candid shots of DEC facilities, including offices, warehouses, and
manufacturing plants, and different departments within them. There are also images of
DEC-related and sponsored events, such as DECworld ’84 to ’92, America's Cup, and
various meetings. An interesting group of images in this subseries consists of photos
that represent the early days of DEC, collected under the name “History.” These include
shots of DEC’s earliest products, such as modules and the PDP-1; photos of MIT’s TX-0,
on which the PDP-1 was based; studio portraits of DEC’s corporate pioneers, including
Ken Olsen, Harlan Anderson, and Gordon Bell; historic shots of Maynard,
Massachusetts, and the Maynard Mill that was DEC’s headquarters; and images of
people working. These early photos date from 1955 to 1963. This subseries is arranged
alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 21.4, Samuels Studio negatives, 1960-1969, bulk 1960-1962
This subseries comprises mostly negatives, with a small amount of prints and
transparencies, created by Samuels Studio of Photography in Maynard, Massachusetts.
In the early 1960s, much of DEC’s original photography, portraiture, and photo
reproduction were contracted out to the nearby vendor, Samuels Studio. During this
time, Samuels Studio kept the negatives they produced for DEC, arranged in files with a
letter “S” prefix and a five-digit identification number. In 1963, the studio turned over its
complete set of DEC-related images to DEC’s photo library. While DEC’s librarians tried
to keep these negatives together as an intact collection, prints, proof sheets, and slide
copies of these images can be found in several related files. Other formats of Samuels
Studio images were moved by DEC employees to the photo library’s “History” files,
which exist in two other subseries. Many of the prints made from Samuels Studio
photography are held in “Subseries 21.3, Still images: General transparencies,” while
proof sheets and contact prints can be accessed from “Subseries 21.6, Still images:
Proofs.” The negatives in this subseries often depict promotional photographs of early
DEC modules, such as inverters, flip-flops, amplifiers, power supplies, memory testers,
and building blocks. Other machines represented in this subseries include the PDP-1,
PDP-4, and PDP-14. Portrait photographs that stayed with the Samuels Studio
negatives (instead of being moved to the “History” files) include portraits of Ben Gurley,
Dave Denniston, Jack Smith, Ted Johnson, and Walter E. Weeton Jr. Other negatives in
this subseries document design and manufacturing processes in DEC laboratories and
manufacturing plants. Most of the files in this subseries were undated, with a few
exceptions that specified 1960, 1961, or 1962 as their years of origin. The file with the
latest identification number, “S15891,” which pictures a PDP-14, was dated as March 11,
1969. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.

Subseries 21.5, Archival proofs, 1963-1975
This subseries consists of trial proofs, contact sheets, and a small number of prints that
DEC staff had filed separately from the larger collection of proofs in “Subseries 21.6,
Proofs.” The 2002 finder’s guide for the photo library, which can be found in “Series 20,
Photo library documentation,” describes how DEC clients and librarians often preferred
to use these proofs to determine which transparencies or prints to duplicate for use. As
these proofs are dated within DEC’s first two decades of operation, much of their subject
matter relates to DEC’s early laboratory modules and initial PDP models. A small
number of the proofs from this subseries that picture PDP-1 and TX-0 systems were
selected for cataloging and digitization prior to the processing of the majority of the
Digital Equipment Corporation records. This subseries is arranged by the DEC Photo
Library’s file numbers, which are mostly chronological.
Subseries 21.6, Proofs, 1963-1996, bulk 1974-1988
This subseries is made up of proofs and contact sheets from 1963 to 1996, with the bulk
from 1974 to 1988. Images span a range of subjects, but the majority are of DEC
products. Most of these are staged shots in photography studios or in office,
manufacturing, or laboratory settings, and many include human models interacting with
the products. Many are noted as being taken for publicity purposes. A wide range of
products are represented, but products with the most imagery include the PDP and VAX
families of computer systems; RT, VR, VS, and VT series of terminals; TS and TU series
of tape drives; and RK, RM, RP, RS, and RX series of disk drives. There are also proofs
and contact sheets collected under the title “History,” which include shots of early DEC
products and advertisements, portraits of early DEC personnel and founders, Samuels
Studios photographs, and historical shots of Maynard, Mass., and the Maynard Mill
where DEC had its headquarters. Also included are group shots of various DEC
department personnel, portraits of Grace Hopper and Georges Doriot, and photographs
from DEC events. There are also a small number of prints, transparencies, negatives,
and slides. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Subseries 21.7, Negatives, 1957-1998
This subseries is the largest of the DEC Photo Library, containing the most complete run
of the library’s original file numbers. The majority of these files only contain negatives—
both color and black and white—though in some cases there are prints, contact sheets,
trial proofs, and/or transparencies filed with their corresponding negatives. As the DEC
Photo Library file numbers point to the same photographic content across subseries, the
subjects of the images in this subseries correspond to those in subseries 21.1, 21.2,
21.3, 21.5, and 21.6 -- though the format is different and there is more of a
comprehensive run in this subseries. This subseries holds some of the earliest images of
the photo library, with photographs documenting design and manufacturing processes in
DEC’s laboratories, system and lab modules, and early versions of the PDP-1. Some of
the images that only exist in this subseries depict equipment on pallets being prepared
for shipping to different clients (e.g., “PDP-8/I and PDP-8/L in shipping area”). This
subseries also contains a significant amount of screen shots, or “scope shots” in some of
the earlier files, that show DEC software interfaces as they appeared to users. Many of
the files dated in the 1960s document early PDP models. Some of these PDP-related
files are titled with a second number after the name of the PDP, which indicates that
specific system’s manufacturing number in relation to others of the same model. For
example, a file titled “PDP-8-21” indicates that the images in that file show the twentyfirst PDP-8 made. Similarly, a file titled “PDP-4-1” would mean that the images in that file

depict the first PDP-4 ever made. Many of the envelopes that DEC used to house these
negatives were empty of contents. The file numbers for these empty envelopes were not
cataloged, though a list was kept of which file numbers had empty envelopes. This list is
attached to the acquisition record for X2675.2004. Early files—dated in the early
1960s—that were marked “Personnel file” in the photo library’s logbook were often
emptied of negatives. However, most of the personnel files that appeared later in this
subseries’ sequence of file numbers did contain photographs. Images in these
personnel-related files include depictions of DEC’s staff events, bowling leagues, awards
ceremonies, group shots of training classes, and collections of employee identification
photographs. Many aspects of DEC’s corporate culture are represented in these
negatives. DEC’s “Digital Computer Museum” as it existed in Marlborough, and later its
“Computer Museum” in Boston, are also pictured in some of these negatives. This
subseries is arranged by the DEC Photo Library’s file numbers, which are mostly
chronological.
Subseries 21.8, Digital Today photographs, 1995-1998
This subseries consists of images used in DEC’s newspaper, Digital Today -- “the global
newspaper for Digital employees.” The images in this subseries exist in various formats,
including negatives, prints, contact sheets, slides, 35 mm film cut from reels, and
transparencies. Aside from the images, each folder in this subseries includes the print
copy of each issue of the newspaper. This subseries holds a complete run of Vol. 1W,
Issue 1 (July, 1995) to the final “commemorative edition” (Vol. 3W, Issue 10), published
in June of 1998 -- the same month that DEC was acquired by Compaq. One exception is
the file for Vol. 1W, Issue 10, which only contains photographs for that issue and not the
newspaper itself. This subseries also contains a small amount of 3½-inch floppy disks
with image and presentation files. The issues of Digital Today included in this subseries
were mostly published bimonthly, with some exceptions when an issue covered a whole
month or multiple months, e.g. with the “holiday season” issues covering December
through January. Multiple issues in this subseries highlight collaborations between
Microsoft and DEC, especially throughout the summer of 1995. The folders for these
issues contain photographic prints and other image formats picturing Bob Palmer with
Bill Gates. This subseries is arranged chronologically.
Subseries 21.9, Presentation slides and scripts, 1976-1989
This subseries contains slides and scripts for various presentations that were given at
DEC facilities or at events where DEC was represented. Most of the files in this
subseries contain both text and slides. The presentations documented in this material
were given for various purposes, including training and orientation, internal meetings,
sales and marketing, conference sessions, courses, and product strategy. Many of these
presentations, especially ones given for sales purposes, were given repeatedly by
different speakers. DEC’s Media Communications Services department often had a role
in providing the slides, scripts, and presentation guides included in this subseries. The
slides used in these presentations often depict textual bullet points covered in
presentations, visualizations of data, and promotional points delineating benefits of
certain DEC products. However, there are also slides in this subseries made up of visual
photographic content, including snapshots of people working with machines, publicity
photographs of DEC systems, and individual and group portraits of DEC employees and
facilities. Lastly, most of the files in this subseries were not labeled by DEC’s file
numbers, as many of the other subseries in the still images series were. However, there
is a portion of files at the end of this subseries that were labeled and arranged by DEC

file numbers. This subseries is arranged by catalog number to reflect its original order
maintained by DEC.
Series 22, Moving images, 1979-2002
This series consists of various material in video, film, and audio format dating from 1979 to
2002. The majority of material is VHS, Betacam SP, and U-matic videotapes of lectures,
seminars, interviews, internal training, and product promotion and announcements, with a
smaller number of audiocassettes and open-reel magnetic tape. Many of the videotapes are
master copies. Almost all of the material in this series was produced by DEC, with much of that
cataloged and housed in its libraries. The exception is the second subseries, which consists
entirely of raw film, video, and audio footage of a documentary about Georges Doriot that was
produced for DEC by Peace River Films. This series is arranged into three subseries:
Subseries 22.1, Systems Research Center meetings and talks, 1986-2002
Subseries 22.2, Georges Doriot documentary film footage, circa 1979-1987, bulk circa
1987
Subseries 22.3, DEC libraries' A/V holdings, 1979-1999
Subseries 22.1, Systems Research Center meetings and talks, 1986-2002
This subseries is made up of video recordings of DEC Systems Research Center (SRC)
talks and meetings from 1986 to 2002. The SRC was a research laboratory located in
Palo Alto, California, that DEC started in 1984. When DEC was acquired by Compaq in
1998, the SRC became the Compaq Systems Research Center. When Compaq was
acquired by Hewlett-Packard, the SRC was merged with other HP research laboratories.
Most videos are Betacam SP, but there are also VHS, Hi8, Betamax, and DVCam
formats. Videos are of SRC meetings, SRC reviews, intern lectures, and talks featuring
special guests that focused on specific engineering and research topics. Frequent
speakers include Bob Supnik, Butler Lampson, Marc H. Brown, Bill Strecker, Allan
Heydon, Greg Nelson, Charles Thacker, Lyle Ramshaw, Bob Taylor, Sam Fuller, and
Dick Sites. Frequent topics include Juno, Millicent, Zeus, Oblets, Itsy, Topaz User's
Group, Vesta, workstation engineering, and Argo. Most boxes contain an inventory of
their contents, including video content, date, and featured speaker. This subseries is
arranged chronologically.
Subseries 22.2, Georges Doriot documentary film footage, circa 1979-1987, bulk
circa 1987
This subseries mainly comprises film footage shot for a short documentary on Georges
Doriot that was produced by Peace River Films for DEC. Material dates from circa 1979
to 1987, with the bulk from circa 1987. The film, titled Georges S. Doriot: Man with a
Vision, was released in 1988 and profiles Doriot, who was one of the United States’ first
venture capitalists and provided the financial backing to Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson
to start DEC. Most of the material in this subseries is undated, but what is dated has
1987 as the date, with the exception of one reel from 1986 and audio and film footage of
Doriot’s 80th birthday in 1979. Film footage consists of 16mm stock on large and small
cores, with a few 35 mm reels. The larger reels are in labeled boxes, which are
described in an included inventory. The smaller reels came together loose in unlabeled
bags and boxes; they are numbered, but there is no inventory associated with them.
This subseries also contains audio in the form of magnetic tape cassettes and reels.
These consist of sound rolls of interviews with Ken Olsen, Vernon Alden, Bob McCabe,
Arnaud de Vitry, Philip Caldwell, and Dorothy Rowe, plus music soundtracks and audio
from Doriot’s 80th birthday party. Also included is a VHS of the finished documentary.
This subseries is arranged alphabetically by box title.

Subseries 22.3, DEC libraries' A/V holdings, 1979-1999
This subseries contains mostly videotapes that were held in the company’s libraries and
include spine labels with catalog record information, such as title, author, and catalog
number. Information on which regional DEC library the material came from is also
apparent -- with various DEC facilities and their libraries represented. Material dates
from 1979 to 1998. Video formats include VHS, U-matic, open reels, and Betacam SP.
There are also a small number of audiocassette tapes, DVDs, and floppy disks. Some of
the audiovisual material is accompanied by related presentations, manuals, and
workbooks. The content of the audiovisual material varies, and includes internal training,
product promotion and announcements, speeches, interviews, seminars, stockholders
meetings, quarterly reports, and conferences. Many of the videos are related to
engineering strategy and product development, and there are a large number of tapes
that feature Ken Olsen or Bob Palmer speaking. There is also a significant amount of
material related to VAX and Alpha systems. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by
title.
