1965 was a seminal year in the history of GIS, as the Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics (subsequently Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis, LCGSA ) embarked on a 20+ year journey of research and development in theoretical geography, computer cartography, spatial analysis, and environmental design, which gave us many of today's essential ideas and early versions of tools now embedded in GIS, remote sensing, geospatial science, geodesign, and online culture. Plan to celebrate this 50th anniversary -- along with the 10th birthday of the CGA itself! -- with special presentations from original participants from those heady days, from the Graduate School of Design and other parts of Harvard, as well as GIS scholars and researchers from around the world, looking back to those early days of "the Lab", and tracing its legacy of seminal developments into the present and on into the future.
