- missing text files:

  • Cretsos, James M.
  • Deahl, ??? (Files contain photo but no text for someone with this last name.)
  • Foskett, Douglas
  • Kronick, David. A.
  • Mooers, Charlotte Davis (Files include obit. Is she supposed to have her own entry, or is the obit there due to her husband (Calvin's) inclusion?)
  • Mooers, Edith (Files include photo of Edith. Is she supposed to have her own entry, or is the photo there due to her father (Calvin) and/or mother (Charlotte)'s inclusion?)

- missing papers locations

  • Battelle Memorial Institute (It appears that Battelle has at least one archivist. Ok to contact directly?)
  • Bells Labs (It appears that Bell Labs has a corporate archives and at least one archivist (Ed Eckert). Ok to contact directly?)
  • Becker & Hayes Co. (As of 9/95, the file notes that "plans are underway to deposit [the papers] with the UCLA archives/special collections department." No update since then.)
  • Case Western Reserve University (Cannot locate relevant materials, but the university has a special collections/archives department. Ok to contact directly?)
  • Cuadra Associates (As of 9/95, the file notes that "the papers were still in the possession of the Company; No plans have been made for their deposit." No update since then)
  • Documentation Incorporated (The file notes (undated) that there are a "few files in personal possession of Taube's daughter, who lives in Maryland.")
  • Herner & Co (As of 09/95, the file notes that "there are extensive papers relating to the work of the Company, but no decision has been made about their deposit." No update since then.)
  • Institute for Scientific Information (As of 1996, the file notes that "ISI does not have its own archives, and no one at the company was able to provide information on archival materials. The founder, Eugene Garfield, does have many papers in his personal possession about the early years of the company." No update since then.)
  • Jonkers Business Machines (As of 10/94, the file notes that "Gerald Sophar has a few files in his personal possession from his years as an officer in the Company." No update since then.)
  • Oak Ridge National Laboratory (may be in federal government archives)
  • Carlos Albert Cuadra
  • Donald Ward King

- people/orgs with Wikipedia entries

  • Howard H. Aiken
  • Henriette Avram
  • John Shaw Billings
  • Helen Louise Brownson
  • Vannevar Bush
  • Elfreda Chatman
  • Verner Clapp
  • Watson Davis
  • Douglas Engelbart
  • Luther Harris Evans
  • Herbert Haviland Field
  • Herman Fussler
  • Eugene Garfield
  • Fielding Hudson Garrison
  • Robert M. Hayes
  • Allen Kent
  • Frederick Kilgour

- I don't think that Elfreda Chatman and Brenda Dervin were in the original files - if we decide to maintain fidelity to the original we should move those, or just not say "original."
