This is a volume of chapters on the historical study of
information, computing, and society written by seven of the most
senior, distinguished members of the History of Computing field.
These are edited, expanded versions of papers presented in a
distinguished lecture series in 2018 at the University of Colorado
Boulder - in the shadow of the Flatirons, the front range of the
Rocky Mountains. Topics range widely across the history of
computing. They include the digitalization of computer and
communication technologies, gender history of computing, the
history of data science, incentives for innovation in the computing
field, labor history of computing, and the process of
standardization. Authors were given wide latitude to write on a
topic of their own choice, so long as the result is an exemplary
article that represents the highest level of scholarship in the
field, producing articles that scholars in the field will still
look to read twenty years from now. The intention is to publish
articles of general interest, well situated in the research
literature, well grounded in source material, and well-polished
pieces of writing. The volume is primarily of interest to
historians of computing, but individual articles will be of
interest to scholars in media studies, communication, computer
science, cognitive science, general and technology history, and
business.
