[SCC_Active_Members] FW: [DIGLIB] Origins of Cyberspace Library to be sold at Christie's, New York on February 23

[H.M. Gladney]

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).

Subject: [DIGLIB] Origins of Cyberspace Library to be sold at Christie's,
New York on February 23



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.
