PAFET Archival Collection

In 1994 six media companies [mostly a bunch of newspaper companies] created a research consortium to learn about and evaluate technology that could impact media and support the creation of new businesses and services. There is a page for PAFET on the site that has more information and links to important documents.  These files are some of the “nuts and bolts” memos and other documents during the short life of this media consortium.
