Honoring Leadership
ORAL HISTORY ARCHIVE

The Chairmen’s Committee and Benefactors of the Computerworld Honors Program have made possible the pursuit of a systematic program of oral histories and video biographies of some of the most outstanding leaders of the information technology revolution. The interviews are designed to capture for posterity some of the personal and professional stories of these individuals, their goals, ideals, mentors, sources of inspiration and thoughts on the future of the information technology revolution.

Transcripts and, in many cases, highlights of the original audio or video recordings of these interviews are rapidly becoming available through the resources of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and The Computerworld Honors Program’s Archives On-Line.
