The IEEE promotes the engineering process of creating, developing, integrating, sharing, and applying knowledge about electro and information technologies and sciences for the benefit of humanity and the profession.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers History Center holdings include the IEEE Archives, which consist of the unpublished records of the IEEE and a collection of historical photographs relating to history of electrical and computer technologies, and a collection of oral history transcripts of pioneering engineers. IEEE History Center Newsletters are also archived (in PDF format). These newsletters provide information about the current activities of the Center, book reviews and a few articles about the history of electronic engineering.
