(5 March 2013) The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and and Stanford University Libraries are cataloging roughly 15,000 software titles from the early days of microcomputing, an effort that will make the collection more broadly useful to social scientists and other researchers.

Eventully, the collection will be open for researchers and the public. Read more here: http://www.nist.gov/itl/ssd/software-030513.cfm
