UNC-Chapel Hill Computing History

REBUILDING THIS WEBSITE -- JUNE 2021

 

The Univac 1105 was installed in Phillips Hall in August 1959, and the Computation Center was dedicated March 30, 1960. This site contains several photos of the 1105, the Computation Center dedication program (which describes the speed and capacity the $2,450,000 machine), a Timelinehistory, and much more.

The main source of content was four boxes of materials in the University Archives from the Computation Center, now Information Technology Services.
