Columbia University Computing History
Some of the most significant events in the history of digital computers
took place at Columbia University. For many decades Columbia stood at
the forefront of computing technology. Scholars and students wishing to
learn more about Columbia's long and impressive history in the world of
computing need look no further than the Columbia University Computing
History web site.
This personal site was created by CUIT staff member Frank da Cruz, who
maintains and updates the site as new information comes to light. The
detailed chronology begins in 1879, when Herman Hollerith received his
engineering degree from Columbia and went on to found what eventually
became IBM. One of the latest entries, in August 2005, marks the 50th
anniversary of Columbia's first computer that was available for general
use by Columbia researchers and courses.
