Who We Are

"ACM is the world's oldest and largest educational and scientific computing society.
Since 1947 ACM has provided a vital forum for the exchange of information, ideas,
and discoveries. Today, ACM serves a membership of computing professionals and students
in more than 100 countries in all areas of industry, academia, and government." (Quoting ACM.org)
The History Committee's purpose, as stated in our charter, is to foster preservation and
interpretation of the history of the ACM and its role in the development of computing.

Life History of Bernie Galler
Posted Saturday, May 10th, 2008
- Check out the Annals (http://www.computer.org/portal/site/annals/index.jsp):
Atsushi has an 11-page article on Bernie's work with ACM and the Annals.
"we are fortunate in that the ACM had the foresight to call for a
broad life history of its past presidents. What follows, therefore, is
a life history of Bernie Galler, one that combines the ACM interview
with an extensive and wide-ranging interview conducted by his wife in
1991, and my prior historical research on the University of Michigan's
Computing Center."
