After almost twelve years of teaching the course, I want to emphasize that there are a number of textbooks that can be used to support a course in the history of computing, depending on the scope of the material to be covered. The section below contains an annotated bibliography which is categorized by type of literature.

In addition, the site contains references to additional resources such as videos, periodical literature, web sites and the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing.

Faculty are encouraged to acquire books on the following subjects.

• Textbooks
• General References
• History of the Computer
• Precomputing
• Microcomputing
• Hardware
• Programming Languages
• The Internet
• Biographies
• Corporate Biographies
