Minicon 7

Here is a PDF of everything except page 9 (see details) and here's a text-only version of the same.

These are photographs of the paste-up boards used to make the Minicon 7 program book. We have not been able to find a copy of the book itself. Clearly the book itself would look different, and probably better, if for no other reason than it does not have any old glue on it. Also the paste-up board for page 9 has been lost.

Here are individual page images. First, the raw photos (converted from JPEG to PNG). These are ordered according to the way the book was put together: Pages 1+12 | Pages 2+11 | Pages 3+10 | Page 4 | Pages 5+8 | Pages 6+7.

Now processed to put the pages in order and cleaned up a little bit: Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3 | Page 4 | Page 5 | Page 6 | Page 7 | Page 8 | [no page 9] | Page 10 | Page 11 | Page 12.

The Minicon 7 program book is in the public domain due to having been published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice (with the caveat that there might be a copyright notice on page 9, but we really doubt it).

The Minicon 7 Advance Progress Report is in the public domain due to having been published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice.

Progress Report 1

We have only the paste-up boards for this progress report. Perhaps some day we will find a printed copy.

NOTE: this progress report looks very similar to the Advance Progress Report. Nevertheless, if you read the text, it seems clear that they were two separate publications.

Full color: outside, inside (4 MB each), or greyscale, lower resolution: outside, inside (0.5 MB each)

This progress report is undated, but the Advance Progress Report says that the first progress report has a deadline of 30 December 1972, so presumably the mailing date was a bit after that.

The Minicon 7 Progress Report 1 is in the public domain due to having been published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice.
