Biographical/Historical Note

In 1965, the College appointed its first Director of the Computing Center to help students and faculty explore possible uses of computers in their fields. The Computing Center, then housed in Searles and later moved to the basement of Hubbard Hall, contained an IBM 1620 computer and punch-card input-output device. As computers became more ubiquitous, the Computing Center aimed to provide technology services and support to the Bowdoin community in support of its academic mission, formally changing its name to the Office of Computing and Information Services in 1995, then to the Office of Information Technology (IT) in 2003.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
