Jerry,

FYI, here's a note I sent to Phil Hower while he was PELS
Historian, regarding the contents of the "archives" here. I'm
also sending three other files that list what volumes I have and
the record (as complete as I could make it) of PESC seminars. I
don't how much use any of this will be for you, but since you're
picking up the historian's position again I thought I'd send them
to you just in case.

Happy holiday,

--Steve

Dear Phil,

I enjoyed our telephone conversation on February 7 regarding the
IEEE Power Electronics Society archives. I've attached a couple
of sheets summarizing the information I found in the archives
that Jerry Foutz was maintaining here at Rockwell in Anaheim, CA.

Just recently the Rockwell library gained on-line access to the
IEEE literature. As a result, they "threw out" all their
hardbound copies of journals and conference proceedings from 1988
on. I snapped up the PESC, APEC, and INTELEC® proceedings for the
PELS archives. These are very nice hardbound volumes, covering
the following conferences:

        APEC:     1986, 1988-1993
        PESC:     1988-1993
        INTELEC®:  1988-1992

Of course, PELS may choose to do as Rockwell did, and not
physically archive proceedings that are available in electronic
form. Perhaps it is more important to archive the advance
programs and seminar workbooks--that I think is what you were
suggesting when we spoke.

At any rate, I thought these hardbound volumes were a "great buy"
and laid claim to them.

Let me know if there's anything more I can provide for you.

Best regards,


Steve Freeland
