Abstract
On September 2, 1966, a body which had sprung into existence as a result of a recommendation of the Flowers' Report met for the first time. On March 12, 1991, it held its 220th and last meeting before becoming, initially, the Information Systems Committee of the newly formed University Funding Council, and now the Joint Information Systems Committee of the Higher Education Funding Councils for England, Scotland and Wales. What did it do and what did it achieve in those 25 years? This brief review, the precursor to a more detailed study, discusses some of the achievements of the Computer Board for Universities and Research Councils.Keywords
