The first issue of the ALGOL Bulletin was published in March 1959 after representatives of computing centers engaged in ALGOL met in Copenhagen. It was edited by Peter Naur, and was intended to be a periodic duplicated communication for the members of the group, a bulletin. In August 1959 the fourth issue of the Bulletin announced that an ad-hoc group had been conformed to pursue making ALGOL an international algorithmic language. Eventually the ALGOL Bulletin started being produced under the auspices of the Working Group on ALGOL of the International Federation for Information Processing, IFIP WG 2.1. This page contains the ALGOL bulletin in reverse publication order.
