IT History Society Announces New Database

The IT History Society remembers pioneers of the IT industry

San Francisco (PRWEB) July 31, 2008 -- The IT History Society (www.IThistory.org) announces a new database attached to its website. The database is taking into account pioneers of the industry who have passed on and who made significant contributions to the creation and growth of the IT industry. The Society felt there should be a place to have a permanent remembrance of individuals who have made a difference to the growth and foundation of the industry. The database is located at http://ithistory.org/resources/memoriam.php

"The IT History Society feels there is a need to have one place to remember the pioneers who have passed on who have had a major impact in the building of the IT industry. From all over the world, support of this site has been very encouraging," said Jeffery D. Stein, Chairman of the Board. "It was felt that with many individuals who are not with us anymore that there was no one place to remember the many contributors to our industry. We feel that links from the IT History Society website is the least we should do to recognize these enormous contributions to our industry."
