Dr Gotlieb by Robert Lansdale<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. As I ate breakfast last Friday (Nov 4th), I read with interest the Globe’s obituary for\u00a0Kelly Gotlieb<\/a>, the father of Canadian computing. Gotlieb earned that title when while \u00a0associated with the U of T, he imported Canada’s earliest computer from Ferranti Electric<\/a> in Britain. The computer was named FERUT<\/a> – FERranti U of T). This obit interested me for two reasons. Firstly, at Bell we brought in some U of T computer folk to help us expand our facilities. Secondly we heard Dr Norman Ball speak<\/a> on Niagara at our February, 2011 meeting. Dr Ball had written a detailed book on Ferranti-Packard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I glanced at the accompanying portrait of Dr Gotlieb, I sensed\u00a0something familiar-looking about the portrait. Reading the cut line below\u00a0the photograph, it leaped out at me: ROBERT LANSDALE \/COURTESY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ARCHIVES.<\/p>\n

Years earlier Bob had casually mentioned to me that he had donated much of his professional work and negatives to the U of T Archives. We are truly blessed to have this creative photographer as PHSC’s official photographer and editor of our journal Photographic Canadiana.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
