[Editors] NYT article on Norbert Wiener from Institute Archives & Special Collections

Tue May 21 10:31:45 EDT 2013

Dear Editors:
As is usually the case in articles about archival materials , this one annoyingly suggests that things go to archives to be hidden, not to be discovered. Wiener's papers haven't "languished for six decades." They've been responsibly preserved and shepherded for six decades. But stereotype persist.
Best,
Myles

“The Machine Age,” an essay written for The New York Times by Norbert Wiener, a visionary mathematician, languished for six decades in the M.I.T. archives, and now excerpts are being published.
