ICL Computer Education in Schools Newsletter
As part of the ICL-CES support package, newsletters were sent to any school that requested them. These contained news, ideas, program code, course updates, CES staff updates and errata.
It was initially a duplicated typewritten document, but from February 1972 it moved to being printed by ICL at Letchworth. In the August 1972 annual report, circulation was noted as being close to 1000 copies, and that it had tripled in a year. Colin Monson sheds more light on the newsletters in his interview.
The first newsletter was published in October 1969.
The ICL archive at the Science Museum has four issues, issues 34 and 35 are in the Goldstein Archive at the IoE and there's about 15 in the ICL archive at the University of Manchester.
