Some of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> items in this series areoriginal publicati<strong>on</strong>s, e.g., spirit duplica<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r or mimeograph; many were pho<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>copied byS<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>yan. Books originally in this series were moved <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> series 7. Interspersed within <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> seriesare several large categories of materials, including:• Progress reports (1957-1972) from several organizati<strong>on</strong>s headquartered at MIT, includingResearch & Educati<strong>on</strong>al Activities in Machine Computati<strong>on</strong> by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Cooperating Colleges ofNew England, Research Lab of Electr<strong>on</strong>ics, and Project MAC Artificial Intelligence Group.• Memoranda and technical reports (1955-1993) c<strong>on</strong>taining a few documents from Dartmouthand IBM Corporati<strong>on</strong> (where McCarthy c<strong>on</strong>sulted) and c<strong>on</strong>tinuing with documents from MIT,recording <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> development and early applicati<strong>on</strong>s of <strong>LISP</strong>. This is followed by documentsfrom System Development Corporati<strong>on</strong>, where <strong>LISP</strong> 2 was developed, and StanfordUniversity, where McCarthy started an artificial intelligence group in 1962. Later documentsare from universities and research labora<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ries all over <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> world, as interest in <strong>LISP</strong> spread.See also series 5, Technical reports.• Manuals (1960-1992) include a preliminary draft of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> original MIT <strong>LISP</strong> programmer’smanual, as well as <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>LISP</strong> I and Lisp 1.5 programmer’s manuals. Also included in this seriesare manuals for all subsequent major implementati<strong>on</strong>s of <strong>LISP</strong> (e.g., MIT Maclisp, StanfordLisp 1.6, BBN <strong>LISP</strong>, INTER<strong>LISP</strong>, IBM <strong>LISP</strong>, and Comm<strong>on</strong> Lisp) as well as many less well-knowndialects and implementati<strong>on</strong>s. The <str<strong>on</strong>g>collecti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> includes multiple versi<strong>on</strong>s of <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> manuals formany implementati<strong>on</strong>s. See also series 2, Manuals, manuscripts and subject files.• Source program listings (1964-1991) include mostly small <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> medium-sized programs writtenin <strong>LISP</strong>, such as <strong>LISP</strong> compilers, text edi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs, and artificial intelligence applicati<strong>on</strong>s.
