IEEE Communications Society Oral Histories
The number that follows the interviewee's name is the interview's oral history code number, which uniquely identifies the interview in the IEEE History Center's archive. Please use this number when referring to an oral history.
In 1999, IEEE History Center staff recorded oral histories of select IEEE Communication Society members as part of a project marking the IEEE Communication Societies fiftieth anniversary. In addition, the IEEE Communication Society published A Brief History of Communications (2002) to mark its fiftieth anniversary. Other oral histories have been conducted with IEEE Communication Society members both before and after the special project.

Andrews (1926- 15 September 2013) was President of the IEEE Communications Society, 1986-1987. He was elected to IEEE Fellow grade in 1973 for "contributions to digital transmission and to systems, and to transmission objectives and standards."
Paul Baran #378 - Packet Communications.
Vinton Cerf #355 - Internet. Cerf, a Marconi Fellow, an IEEE Life Fellow, and an Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) member, played a significant role in the setup of ARPANET and developed the Transmission Controlled Protocol (TCP) with Bob Kahn.
