- Title:
- The Human-Computer Learning Foundation archive
- Scope & Content:
-
Donald Michie, Jean Hayes Michie and Rupert Macnee formed the The Human-Computer Learning Foundation (HCLF) in 1994. It was a charitable trust created for the purposes of furthering for the public benefit the awareness, understanding and use of human-computer learning and artificial intelligence. The trust was dissolved in 2008 following the death of Donald Michie.
Human computer learning means that the human and computer partners both learn from each other as they go along, exchanging partly formed concepts while each assisting the other to bring nascent ideas and conceptualisation to levels difficult for either to attain alone.
This archive contains the administrative papers of the HCLF, which were collected by Rupert Macnee and donated to the British Library. Rupert served as secretary for the HCLF from its inception. Some of the documents have been printed on the back of previously used pieces of paper which had scripts and information related to Macnee’s work as a television producer on them. The dates on the documents are a mixture of both USA and UK date formats.
The archive includes:
- Registration and legal documents concerning the establishment of the HCLF
- Published accounts, treasurer’s reports and invoices
- Notes of meetings, agendas and minutes, both hand-written and typed
- Documents regarding the HCLF, including administrative and working documents
- Correspondence, letters, faxes and printed emails regarding the business of the HCLF
- Copies of journals, articles, newspaper and magazine cuttings
- Business cards and conference badges.
For copies of agreements relating to the Human-Computer Learning Foundation please see Add MS 89072/2/3.
