URL: http://www.merit.edu/about/history/

Collection: University of Michigan Schools, Colleges, Research, Centers, and Institutes Web Archives

Description: Site provides historical information about the predecessor organizations and history of the Merit Network. Founded in 1966 by Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, and Wayne State University, Merit established networking in Michigan long before the term "Internet" was invented. Merit pioneered many of the practices and protocols used in today's Internet. In 1987, a Merit-led consortium (including IBM, MCI, and the Michigan Strategic Fund) won a $39 million grant from the National Science Foundation to re- engineer and manage the NSFNET, the first national high-speed Internet backbone for research and education. The NSFNET led directly to the growth of the commercial Internet.
