  I actually intended to send this to the SCC listserv.   Apologies for double sending to those who are receiving this twice.

  Of high interest to CHM, especially the auction catalogue.  Pricey stuff.


  Among other applications, this catalog might be useful for market value estimates (e.g., insurance purposes).

  Cheerio, HMG

  My library of rare publications, manuscripts, prints, and artifacts on the origins of digital information will be sold at Christie's in New York on February 23. This sale of classics on the history of computing, data-networking, and telecommunications documents the scientific and technological origins of the Internet. In 2002 Diana H. Hook and I published a descriptive, annotated bibliography on this collection entitled Origins of Cyberspace: A Library on the History of Computing, Networking, and Telecommunications. 

  Here is the link to Christie's website for auction of the Origins of Cyberspace Library on February 23rd: http://www.christies.com/promos/feb05/1484/overview.asp. The auction catalogue is now online at Christie's website.

  See additional information at http://www.historyofscience.com. From my website you can download PDFs of our bibliography which describes the collection in more detail than the auction catalogue.
