Ed Feigenbaum spoke to me recently about the great amount of stuff
going on here that will probably be invaluable to the future's technical
historians, J mentioned that I had run across the enclosed notes about
preserving archival materials, and Ed suggested that we discuss this at
some future faculty meeting.

Please read the two enclosures carefully, it won't take long.
Stanford Archives is a good place to keep things; they already have
Forsythe's papers and the working notes from which I prepared three
volumes of The Art of Computer Programming. I think it's a good idea

to keep them in mind for all your personal papers of potential historical

interest.
