Mark Halpern collection

Last revised October 22, 2006 by Paul McJones.

Overview

The collection includes a set of manuals, technical reports, preprints and reprints, and ephemera collected by Halpern during his career as a computer programmer starting at IBM in 1957. There are also copies of some published works, correspondence, and notes by Halpern. Although some of those have been removed for study by Halpern, he would be willing to return the originals to the collection. (In the listings below, these items are marked "[Removed by Halpern.]".)

The collection as originally offered to the Computer History Museum constituted 15 boxes totaling about 17 linear feet – see this version of the catalog: catalog-2006.08.22.html. The Museum accepted the majority of the items, but rejected a portion. This version of the catalog has been edited to remove the items not accepted. The box numbers do not necessarily represent the current locations of the items in the Museum's archive, but correspond to the location when donated.

The manuals include:

• a variety of programming languages, including a large variety of macro processors, Algol, APL, CL-I, CLIP, Comit, ESL, FAP, Fortran, Gargoyle, IPL-V, JOVIAL, Lisp 1.5, Machine-Oriented Languages Bulletin, MAP, Militran, Modula-2, MPL1/ALTEXT, Neliac, Pascal, PL/I, SHADOW, Simscript, Snobol3, SPL (Space Programming Language), SURGE, UNCOL, and TEMAC
• hardware and software manuals for IBM punch card equipment, 650, 705, 709, 7030, 7070, 7090/7094, and System/360 computers
• preliminary documentation for 8- and 16-bit "Sprint" minicomputers to be built by Fairchild circa 1970
• training manuals for Tandem Computers system and application software

The reports, preprints, and reprints include a variety of subjects including:

• command and control software
• computational linguistics
• general computing
• information retrieval
• programming languages: compilers, macro processors, specification techniques, etc.

There are a number of copies of proceedings from a variety of conferences: ACM national meetings, AFIPS, IFIP, military computing, internal IBM programming symposia, etc.

There are two copies of a 9-track magnetic tape from an IBM VM/370 system containing files documenting a system that Halpern worked on in the 1970s.

An interesting ephemeral item is a wooden clothes hanger from The Langdon Hotel, which played a role in Backus's original Fortran project.
