Recreating historic time-sharing computer system

This is historic preservation for the twenty-first century: a group has formed to recreate the first Dartmouth Time-Sharing System, which started in 1964 in the basement of College Hall on a GE-235 computer (used for executing programs) and a GE DN-30 (for communicating with the remote teletype terminals).

[RSS 2.0]   This site presents one view of the architecture of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, U.S.A. The site began with some essays in May 1995 and incorporated the buildings catalog in 1996 and the Rich thesis in June, 1998. (The site was known as DArch initially and was renamed for an abbreviation of the word "Dartmouth.")

The campi of Columbia, Stanford and Amherst are the subjects of readily-available books, but no detailed architectural history of the country's fifth-oldest campus has been written. Dartmouth hosts the important collegiate grouping of Dartmouth Row and comprises some of the largest accumulations of the work of three American architects: Ammi Burnham Young, Charles Alonzo Rich and Jens Fredrick Larson. The campus currently is expanding in a fashion that is self-consciously traditional, which only enhances the need for information about its historic buildings.
