This is an archive of scanned copies of most of the known records from the CRMS APL project, which took place at the Center for Research in Management Science (CRMS) of the University of California, Berkeley, between 1972 and 1976. CRMS pioneered the use of interactive computerized multiperson simulation experiments for social science research. The facility, referred to as the Management Science Laboratory, was conceived by Professor Austin Hoggatt. The original computer system was based on linked DEC PDP-5 and PDP-8 computers. That system was replaced by the advanced APL-based timeshared system documented here. For a history of the project, see:
