FOREWORD

From its inception in 1945, by an ad-hoc task force to collect and catalog World War II scientific andtechnical documents (including captured German and Japanese technical documents), to thelargost, unique, DoD technical information center for access to the products and services of thevarious DoD STINFO activities, the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) has emerged as animportant element in the transfer of scientific and technical information (STI) to the information andresearch and development (R&D) communities.

This chronology highlights the more significant events of DTIC's history and its affects on federal STIfrom 1945 through 1990.

This paper is also being published as an addendum to the Chronology of Selected Literature,Reports, Policy Instruments, arid Significant Events Affecting Federal Scientific and TechnicalInformation (STI), 1945-1990, performed and sponsored by the National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA), Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA, NASA-TM-101622, Oct 91.
