My thanks to everyone both on- and off-list! I really appreciate the contributions and am psyched to start reading into them. If anyone is interested in the resources I wind up putting together on the topic, email me off-list and I'll be happy to share :) Thanks, AoIR!

Hi all,
I'm working on a project which requires me to look into the history of the concept of "accounts," as in bank accounts or social media accounts.
"Accounts" in computing began in the days of batch processing and timesharing. Here are some related links:
