The following chronology
is a compilation of historical computing events that have been taken from a
variety of sources. The source (or sources) of each entry are coded and shown
after each entry. Students and professionals are encouraged to use this information
in their studies and research. Please consult the original reference for a more
in-depth meaning of these.
The chronology is partitioned
as a series of pdf files, which you may read with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. You
may access each partition below.

Within any given year of
this chronology, events are not actually in a time sequence, although some events
are given by month or exact date.
In this chronology you will
notice some conflicting information, usually with respect to dates, regarding
events. This is due to different sources and it is left to historians to resolve
these conflicts.
The author requests information
in places where certain information is missing. Kindly suggest any additions
or modifications to this chronology by contacting John Impagliazzo at <cscjzi@Hofstra.edu>.
All suggestions must include the accurate date of the event and the source or
sources from which it came. Current events, defined by occurrences over the
past ten years, are welcome.
