Biographical/Historical note

Julian Himely Bigelow was born on March 19, 1913, in Nutley, New Jersey. His family moved to a farm in Millis, Massachusetts, several years later. At seventeen, Bigelow enrolled in a five-year engineering program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He earned a Master's degree in electrical engineering in 1935. Bigelow's first job after graduation was with Sperry Corporation. In 1938, Bigelow joined IBM, where he worked on improving the reliability and serviceability of various kinds of automatic machinery.

In 1940, Bigelow was offered a job at MIT as the assistant to mathematician Norbert Wiener. Bigelow and Wiener primarily worked on conceptualizing antiaircraft fire control tactics and equipment for the U.S. military. Wiener and Bigelow, along with neurophysiologist Arturo Rosenblueth, also wrote "Behavior, Purpose and Teleology," an influential paper that formed the basis for the field of cybernetics, which appeared in January 1943 in Volume 10, Issue 1 of Philosophy of Science. Bigelow's association with Wiener also led to him being part of the "core group" of the Macy Conferences, a series of interdisciplinary meetings sponsored by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation from 1946 to 1953 out of which came advances in systems theory, cognitive science, and cybernetics. In the final years of World War II and its immediate conclusion, from 1943 to 1946, Bigelow moved to Columbia University as an Associate Director for the Statistical Research Group of the National Defense Research Council's Applied Mathematics Panel, a small unit of mathematicians and statisticians that worked on military problems using mathematical methods.

On Wiener's recommendation, John von Neumann offered Bigelow the position of Chief Engineer for a developing project to build a large-scale computer on the campus of the Institute for Advanced Study, termed the Electronic Computer Project. Bigelow took up the position as of June 1, 1946. He was the chief architect of the machine and led the engineering crew until he received a Guggenheim Fellowship for the 1951-1952 academic year. He remained with the project through its conclusion in 1957, continued to provide assistance with the machine during 1957-1958 while it was under the administrative control of Princeton University, and oversaw the donation of the machine to the Smithsonian Institution in 1962.

Bigelow was named a Permanent Member of the Institute in 1951. Originally affiliated with the School of Mathematics, he moved to the School of Natural Sciences in 1970. He was a visiting professor at the University of California Los Angeles for the 1966-1967 academic year. For many decades, Bigelow provided consulting services for a variety of public and private entities, including the Atomic Energy Commission, RCA, and the National Academy of Sciences.

In 1943, Julian married Mary, with whom he had three children, Alice, Marc, and Nick. Mary died in 1985 after a long illness. Julian remarried to Elizabeth Merkelson, who died in January 2012. Julian Bigelow died on February 17, 2003, in Princeton, New Jersey.

Scope and Contents note

The Julian Bigelow papers include correspondence, reports, schematics, technical literature, books, and printed material related to Julian Bigelow's involvement with the Electronic Computer Project and other professional and personal activities. Some material relates to computing, cybernetics, informatics, and other fields more generally. While there is not a substantial amount of correspondence with any one individual, notable correspondents include Norbert Wiener, Warren McCulloch, Gerald Estrin, and Nils Barricelli.

In this collection a "folder" is any type of enclosure, including accordion files, envelopes, and bound items.

Immediate Source of Acquisition note

Several months after Julian Bigelow's death in 2003, George Dyson was given access to these papers by Bigelow's family; Dyson did the initial sorting, including identifying items of particular significance, but the papers were retained by Bigelow's widow, Elizabeth Merkelson Bigelow. After her death, the bulk of these materials were donated to the Institute by Julian Bigelow's children Alice, Marc, and Nick, in July 2012. Four feet of material was received in March 2013.
