Printed Media:
First off I'd like to thank not only Earlham's libraries but also Miami University for having the following list (and several more I didn't bother to write down) of books which really looked neat, and were supposed to be on the shelf, but somehow were beyond the scope of any mortal or librarian to find. At least they looked sort of impressive. Here are just the ones with Burroughs in the title (as I'm pretty sure they'd be useful, if anyone could find them):

HINDS, JAMES A., and ORGANICK, ELLIOT I.: Interpreting Machines: Architecture and Programming of the B1700/B1800 Series, New York: North- Holland, 1978.

MORGAN, BRYAN: Total to Date; the Evolution of the Adding Machine: the Story of Burroughs, London, Burroughs Adding Machines ltd., 1953.
This was sort of a long shot, to tell the truth. However, it theoretically exists at both Earlham and Miami. Not that it ended up making a difference...

ORGANICK, ELLIOT I.: Computing System Organizations: the B5700/B6700 Series, New York, Academy Press, 1977.
I really wanted this book.

Since I've run out of books to check, that leaves me with periodicals. Most of these can be found somewhere on Earlham's campus.

BEAM, ALEX and MITCHEL, RUSSELL, "The Computers That Refuse To Die," Business Week, Issue 2956, p.123-126, July 21, 1986
This is article starts out talking about the B-1000 series that have been selling for 14 years. It then moves on to other companies, but has some neat information.

DVORAK, JOHN C.: "What Ever Happened To: Burroughs, The Seventh Dwarf," Ziff-Davis Publishing, October, 1997.
This is a very nice article as far as a quick overview of Burroughs. It was a great starting point for me. Talks about Burrough's history from its start through the merger into Unisys, in enough detail to be very informative. About two pages long.

MITCHEL, RUSSELL, "Unisys: So Far, So Good--But the Real Test is Yet to Come," Business Week, Issue 2987, p.84-86, March 2, 1987.
I sort of enjoyed listening to what all the economics-types said right before Burroughs (soon after the merger w/Sperry) started to truly die. Call me morbid. Talks about how great the Unisys merger was.

SMITH, T.N., "Unisys: One merger that didn't work," The Economist, Volume 318, Issue 7690, p.63, January 19th, 1991
Some information on why Burroughs eventually died. This is economics, not technology, which is interesting more for my curiosity than anything else. Presents some of the intereseting problems associated with merging two companies as big and different as Burroughs and Sperry.

VERITY, JOHN W. and WELLS, JOSEPH, "So Far, Married Life Seems to Agree With Unisys," Business Week, Issue 3072, p.123-126, October 3, 1988
The merger is wonderful! Unisys is going to do great! Interesting to see how Unisys planned to deal with the whole "mainframe drain" problem.

note: information on old Burroughs machines is amazingly well hidden, or I'm really looking in the wrong areas. I've spent many hours tracking down a lot of drivel mentioning the word "Burroughs" but there really seem to be only four useful sources relating to my topic.

Computer Industry Informatics
http://www.lamp.ac.uk/~ewan/old_computer_industry/unisys.html
This is a site covering the history of the merger between Burroughs and Sperry. Useful because it gives some basic information on what Burroughs did and why the merge was brought about.

Georgia Tech College of Computing, Unisys History Newsletter
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/services/unisys-folklore/
This perhaps gets the award for "Most Annoying Link." The author does a good job about relating the topics he knows (UNIVAC machines and the like) and then goes on to ask some of the exact same questions I do, all the while acknowledging he doesn't have the answers. I leave this here for inspiration and because I may write to him and it contains his address as of 1993.

IEEE search on Burroughs
http://dlib.computer.org/dynaweb/@Generic__CollectionView;hf=0?DwebQuery=burroughs&x=22&y=7
Looking through the Computer Society's Digital Library. Here are the results on a search for "burroughs." Lots of articles, but none that were all that useful. You can use this link to scroll down the list, but if an article only received one hit then it's a good bet that the author just worked for Burroughs.


Burroughs Corporation Collection
http://www.cbi.umn.edu/burros/burros.htm
And I quote "The Charles Babbage Institute is the home of the Burroughs Corporation Collection, which were donated to CBI by the Unisys Corporation in 1991. Unisys funded a two year project to organize and preserve the collection that ended in September 1995. This Web directory features historical information on Burroughs Corporation." Once I finally figured out just what I was looking at (all the ones I found go right to various inventories), I realized that this is far beyond my hopes and expectations.

University of Virginia Computer Museum
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/brochure/museum.html
This was perhaps my favorite and most hated site of all. It has wonderful material in the form of lots of old newspaper clippings and manuals from the B5000 (and B205, which I wasn't as interested in, along with lots of other non-Burroughs computers). However, they're all scanned in as huge BMPS and JPEGS. It takes forever to read anything, and it grinds the hard drive like no there's no tomorrow. Because reading them gave me a headache I have a page that I just took a few of the scans that looked cool and shrunk them and cut the junk out of 'em. Just go here. And then go visit the source, it's well worth the trouble. And big thanks to Jason Watson, their webmaster, who allowed me to create the page (and was damn speedy about responding).

Links not to visit.
The link above will get to you some links that I ended up following but decided shouldn't be included in the main list. Some of them are good for related information, and others are there to help future Burroughs-researches know where not to bother.
