This series contains photographs, 35mm slides, posters, audio recordings, and film negatives documenting Imlay himself, his presentations, MSA promotions, and media that Imlay collected. Prior to the processing of this collection’s text, a portion of the photographs that Imlay donated were cataloged individually and scanned. Many of these photographs are formal portraits of Imlay and snapshots of him giving speeches. There are also slides and photographs of presentations from meetings or public talks, images of MSA promotional material, and an older photograph of the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (EDSAC) from circa 1951. A portion of these slides and photographs are unprocessed. This series also contains two promotional posters—one published by MSA and the other by CompuShop—and two audio recordings of music and performances. This series is arranged alphabetically by title.
