Description
This digital archive contains mainly unpublished personal papers and photographs of Alan Turing (1912-54), the British mathematician, logician, and cryptographer who helped pioneer the concept of the digital computer and modern computer science. These documents, dating from 1923-72, were scanned from originals in the Turing archive in King's College, Cambridge. The materials include letters, obituaries, and memoirs written by colleagues and used by Sara Turing for her biography of her son, and talks and publications on the Automatic Computing Engine, Turing's work at the National Physical Laboratory, the theories of computable numbers, digital computers, and morphogenesis and the chemical development of cells.
