Last February, the ACM SIG chairs agreed to fund digitization of all
conference proceedings published from 1947 to 1999.  That effort is
proceeding well.  However, there are a few conferences for which we have
been unable to locate proceedings.  In particular, we have not yet found
copies of the following SOSP proceedings:

     SIGOPS '67. 1st Operating systems principles. 1967
     SIGOPS '73. 4th Operating systems principles. 1973
     SIGOPS '85. Tenth Operating systems principles. 1985

We are also missing one of the PODC proceedings and one of the PPoPP
proceedings:

     PODC '86. Principles of distributed computing. 1986
     PPOPP '89. 1st Principles & practice of parallel programming. 1989

If you have a copy of any of these, please consider donating it to the
cause.  ACM will digitize it, to be made available to everyone.  Note that
this is destructive: the pages must be cut up to be digitized.  (The binding
is sawed off so the pages can be scanned.)

Please contact me if you have one or more of these issues and are willing to
have it/them digitized.  Don't worry if someone else might also respond --
I'll let you know if we have found it from someone else.

We also need copies of proceedings of some of the ACM annual conferences and
ACM Computer Science Conferences.  In particular, we are missing the
following:

	  ACM Annual Conference

		  (Please note: A paragraph in the preface to the 1964
		  proceedings states: "after a 12 year lapse, publication
		  of proceedings has resumed."  However, for 1958, 1959
		  and 1961, we have proceedings stamped 'preprints'.  We
		  also have a 1956 proceedings, which was sent for scanning.

		  We need clarification of the note in the 1964 proceedings.
		  Were proceedings published in the 12-year period described
		  in the '64 proceedings?  If so, can we replace the preprints,
		  which are missing some papers, with complete proceedings?
		  If no complete, final proceedings were published, were
		  preprints made available in each year? Perhaps a volunteer
		  who worked with these conferences can provide answers to
		  these questions.)

		  (Also note:  does anyone know whether any ACM Annual or
		  Joint ACM/IEEE conferences were held past 1987?

	       ACM '47. 1947  1st ACM Annual Meeting??  Not sure if proceedings were
published prior to 1952
	       ACM '48. 1948
	       ACM '49. 1949
	       ACM '50. 1950
	       ACM '51. 1951
	       ACM '53. 1953
	       ACM '54. 1954
	       ACM '55. 1955
	       ACM '57. 1957
	       ACM '58. 13th Annual Meeting  1958*  (preprint)
	       ACM '59. 1959*  (preprint)
	       ACM '60. 1960
	       ACM '61. 1961*  (preprint)
	       ACM '63. 1963
	       ACM '70. 1970

	  ACM Computer Science Conference

		  (Does anyone know whether any CSC conferences were held after 1996?)

	      CSC '73. 1st ACM Computer Science Conference. 1973
	      CSC '75. 3rd ACM Computer Science Conference. 1975
	      CSC '77. 5th ACM Computer Science Conference. 1977
	      CSC '78. 6th ACM Computer Science Conference. 1978
	      CSC '79. 7th ACM Computer Science Conference. 1979
	      CSC '81. 9th ACM Computer Science Conference. 1981
	      CSC '82. 10th ACM Computer Science Conference. 1982
	      CSC '94. Scaling up: meeting the challenge of complexity in real-world
computing applications. 1994

If you have one of these and would be willing to donate it, please contact
Susan Siedun <siedun@hq.acm.org> and let her know.

Thanks in advance for your help!  Once we've captured all of these
publications, they will be available for posterity, but we have to find them
first!
