Description
The Dal Allan collection holds documentation pertaining to mass storage and disk drives during the 1980s and 1990s. About half of the collection consists of conference proceedings from events such as the Data Storage Interface and Technology conference, the European Data Storage Interface and Technology conference, and the Storage, Interface and Communication conference. Other conferences include the Head/Media Technology Review, the Arrowhead III, and the Data Compression conferences. There are also a number of forum proceedings, including those of the SCSI, Fibre Channel, and RAID forums, as well as some conference paper digests. About a quarter of the collection consists of storage industry market studies and forecasts published between 1988 and 1992 by groups such as IDEMA, Technology Forums, International Data Corporation (IDC), and Peripheral Research Corporation. The last fourth of the collection is made up of printed materials related to data storage, including technical reports, specifications, manuals, clippings, promotional material, and issues of some magazines, such as Computer Technology Review, Mini-Micro Systems, Hard Copy, and Digital Design.
