Xerox PARC Technical Reports

These are the original technical articles published by Xerox PARC in the 1970s and 80s and into the 90s. The blue bound ones feature early work on personal computers, ethernet and languages amongst other subjects. These reports provide a wonderful insight into the creativity and ingenuity of the people at PARC. See our special feature on one of the original reports on the Alto.
