content: This series contains documents pertaining to the National Joint Computer Committee (NJCC). The first document describes the organization of the NJCC as of January 1957.  The last deals with the dissolution of the NJCC in May 1962. The NJCC was composed of representatives from three organizations: the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Committee on Computing Devices of the American Institute of Electrical Enginmeers (AIEE), and the Professional Group on Electronic Computers of the Institute of Radio Engineers (PG EC of the IRE).  Its chief function was the sponsorship of annual computer conferences, especially the Eastern and Western Joint Computer Conferences that had begun in 1951.  The expanded successor to the NJCC was AFIPS.
