The Monticello
Memoirs Program
captured for posterity the story of
the information technology revolution in the words of the men and
women who are leading it. In private conversations and in public discussions
at Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello, on the grounds of the University
of Virginia and at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.,
the leaders of the information revolution reflected on its progress
to date and their vision of
the future. Captured for the research collections of the National
Museum
of American History, the dialogues of the Monticello Fellows will
encourage others to follow in their footsteps, to learn from their
mistakes and to emulate their innovative spirit and achievements.
The 1996 Monticello Memoirs Fellows
