The Doug Engelbart Archives 0

Overview 1

The Engelbart Archives is an ongoing initiative of the Doug Engelbart Institute, in collaboration with SRI International, Sun Labs, Internet Archive, New Media Consortium, and distinguished volunteers from Doug's alumni group, to preserve for historic interest, and to inform a next generation pursuit of the compelling strategic vision and significant prior work. The initial thrust of this Initiative is to gather, sift through, catalog, digitize, and upload archival documents, video footage, photos, and digital files for preservation and broad-based accessibility. We are currently working with 2,000+ digitized historic photos, 150+ digitized video tapes, including the raw footage from the Bootstrap Dialogs Project, plus dozens of digitized papers. This work complements the existing collections at Computer History Museum, Stanford University Libraries Special Collections, the Internet Archive, and the Doug Engelbart Institute. See also the Special Collections resources in our online Library for links into the online resources already available. 1a

Software 2e

We also maintain and continue to use a working version of Augment/NLS software on a Sun server, as well as various iterations of the Augment client software, including AugTerm and Visual AugTerm (VAT). Augment and AugTerm are also being preserved by the Software Preservation Projects.

The HyperScope software, developed by the Doug Engelbart Institute in 2006 under an NSF grant to extend the standard browser with the precision browsing and viewing features first demonstrated in Augment/NLS, is documented at hyperscope.org
