Arthur Lawrence Norberg (born 1938; died september 9, 2021) ^[1] was an American historian of science and technology who had been Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota since 2005. Previously, he held the ERA Land-Grant Chair in History of Technology at the University of Minnesota, where he was a Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Charles Babbage Institute. ^{[2] [3]} Much of his research is on the history of computing. In June 2006, to commemorate Norberg's retirement as director of the Charles Babbage Institute, a symposium was held at the Institute in his honor; some of the papers presented there were later published in a special issue of the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing . ^[4]
