Bell Labs’s Journals Available Online Through Alcatel-Lucent and IEEE
June 5, 2014
The abstract titled Bell Systems Technical Journal, 1922-1983 on Alcetal-Lucent provides some insight into the workings of Bell Labs over the years. Alcatel-Lucent partnered with IEEE to make the journals accessible. While the search aspect may be so-so, the content provided is excellent, all the way back to the first issue in 1922. The article offers this summation of the historical importance of Bell Labs,
“Bell Labs is the source of many significant contributions, of course, in the area of telephony, but also in memory devices, imaging devices, system organization, computers and software technology, as well as acoustics, optics, switching, transmission, wireless and data communication. New principles, new materials, new devices, and new systems from Bell Telephone Laboratories resulted in new industries, hundreds of new products, and thousands of new jobs. The invention of the transistor in 1947, and subsequent advances … ultimately enabled the digital world.”
For those interested in the history of innovation and the foundations of the current era of technology, this compilation of Bell Labs’ journals provides a wealth of interesting articles and papers. Besides influencing the evolution of the telephone, Bell Labs also contributed to the formation of new industries in the areas of memory devices, computers and software, system organization and many others.
