The specialised collection in the Graeme Philipson Library brings together key resources on the history of computing in Australia including work by John Dean, Trevor Pearcey, John Bennett and others.

It offers a focal point to ongoing research into Australia's achievements in Computing.

Keynote speaker for the event is Peter Thorne, head of the Pearcey Foundation's Heritage Project. Peter will talk about Graeme's Legacy and the ongoing work at the Pearcey Foundation on a book project started by Graeme.
