Historical Note

CUBE (Cooperating Users of Burroughs Equipment) was formed from two earlier user's groups: DUO (Datatron Users Organization) and CUE. At one time there was another users group: BUG (Burroughs Users Group), but it is unclear how long this group lasted or what it was in relation to other groups. It might have been the original name of CUBE.

Collection Scope and Content Note

The CUBE material is mostly correspondence and notes. There is also a CUBE newsletter filed in the Burroughs records in the communication category.
