      This sub-subseries contains records published by DECUS, which Litt collected as a member of DECUS and as a contributor to the DECUS Program Library. Included in this sub-subseries is a near-complete run of the DECUS periodical titled Copy-N-Mail, printed from 1973 to 1980. Most of this periodical’s editions focus on DECsystem-10 and DECsystem-20 models of the PDP-10. The final issue of Copy-N-Mail identifies John Simon as the editor. Other DECUS periodicals in this sub-subseries—with much fewer editions—include DECUSCOPE, DECUS magazine, Moby Munger (the official organ of DECUS’ TECO Special Interest Group), DECUS Update, and DECUS Journal. Another large portion of this sub-subseries comprises DECUS Program Library catalogs and software abstracts, along with forms and correspondence relating to Litt’s borrowing and submitting programs to the library. DECUS Program Library records in this sub-subseries include both text and microfiche. Lastly, a DECUS membership guide is included with this sub-subseries. These DECUS records are arranged alphabetically by folder title.

    • Series 13, DECUS records (1962-1993)

      This series is made up of material created by DECUS, the Digital Equipment Corporation Users’ Society, from 1962 to 1993. Founded in 1961, DECUS was a user group for individuals and companies who owned, worked on, or programmed DEC computers. It was part of and subsidized by DEC, but run by external volunteers. DECUS users shared software and knowledge with each other, and DEC benefited by receiving product feedback from members. The majority of material in this series consists of proceedings from DECUS conferences in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan dating from 1962 to 1990, with a mix of printed and microfilmed proceedings. Starting in 1990, separate proceedings from each conference were no longer published, and instead selected papers from each conference and other technical papers were collected into one journal that was at first called International Proceedings of the Digital Equipment Computer Users Society and later Transactions of the Digital Equipment Computer Users Society. This series contains issues from 1990 to 1992. There is also a large number of issues of the DECUS SIGs Newsletter, which was a monthly (later quarterly) collection of newsletters from different DECUS U.S. chapter special interest groups. These date from 1986 to 1992. Also included are issues of the DECUS member newsletter DECUSCOPE from 1962 to 1992, including issues in print and on microfilm and microfiche. Finally, there is a DECUS annual report from 1990, program libraries from the 1970s, and reports from DECUS U.S. DECsystem-10/20 meetings from 1977 to 1982. This series is arranged alphabetically by folder title.

TODO: They may have the DECUS Program Library.
