This $140,140 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will support a history of technology research project focused on computer automation and data entry. The Rochester Institute of Technology will examine changes in the participation and working conditions of data entry workers from the 1950s to 1970s in banking automation across the United States, West Germany, and East Germany. The project aims to make routine data entry work more visible in the history of computing through archival research, analysis of publications and interviews, and by investigating implications for marginalized communities. It will produce scholarly publications and create an online exhibit to engage broader audiences in questions about technological change and work processes. Undergraduate students will gain training in public history. The award reflects NSF's mission to support basic research and education in social sciences through January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024.
