After its founding in 1965, computer science was a division within the Department of Electrical Engineering until 1975 when it became a seperate department within the College of Engineering. This collection contains correspondence, memoranda, minutes and reports pertaining to departmental administrarion, affirmative action programs, department conferences, meetings, and workshops, as well as faculty papers, reprints and reports.

Historical Note
The Division of Computer Science was founded in 1965 by David C. Evans and Ivan E. Sutherland within the Department of Electrical Engineering. In 1975 it became The Department of Computer Science in the College of Engineering and later in 2000 the School of Computing. During the period covered by these records, David C. Evans (1966-1973), Anthony C. Hearn (1975-1981), Laurence H. Lattman (1981-1982) and Richard F. Riesenfeld (1982-1988) served as heads of the Department of Computer Science. The School of Computing currently offers six research areas: applied computation, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, computer systems, information management and program analysis and formal methods. Computer science began at the University of Utah with pioneering work in computer graphics, computer architecture, digital audio and was the fourth node on the ARPAnet, the predecessor of today's Internet.
This collection includes reports, agendas, correspondence and memoranda pertaining to various conferences ran or sponsored by the Department of Computer Science, most notably the Chairman's Snowbird Conference, various National Science Foundation (NSF) conferences, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Contractors Meeting, and the Scientific Advisory Board Meeting, as well as faculty papers, faculty reprints, research account reports and general information regarding the departments affirmative action program.
This collection is arranged alphabetically.
Materials must be used on-site; advance notice suggested. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law.
The material in this collection came from Records Center accession 91-578.
