The Computer History Association of California is a charitable, nonprofit corporation established in 1993 to serve six major purposes:
* To study, preserve, protect and popularize the history of electronic computing in the State of California.

This is a clearinghouse of all things cryptology on the internet. This site could be useful to researchers in this area.
