Abstract:
The NSFNET 20th anniversary celebration, held November 29-30th, 2007, recognized the impact and achievements of the NSFNET program. The NSF and founding partners held a conference that featured keynote speeches and panel discussions with individuals who worked directly on NSFNET as well as those who benefited from this work. The collection contains archived websites (with digital images of the conference), a program of event proceedings, and video recordings of the conferences as well as discussions filmed as part of an oral history project on the development of the modern Internet.
