History of the Site

The project to design and implement the ASA homepage, and support the Internet connection for one year was initiated and funded by ASA's Sections. At the 1995 Joint Statistical Meetings, the Association unveiled a prototype "ASA Home Page" on the WWW at Uniform Resource Locator (URL) http://www.amstat.org.

The ASA appointed Michael Meyer and Bruce Trumbo as the first editors for ASA's Web site. They began their term on January 1, 1997 and served until April 30, 1998. From May 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998, Bruce Trumbo served as the volunteer Web editor.

Our first Web editors presented some plans for the ASA Web site. This is the article that appeared in Amstat News, January 1998.

An earlier article was What Electronic Services Should the ASA Provide? by Mike Meyer and Sallie Keller-McNulty.

In late 1998, new graphics were created by a design firm to give the site a more modern and dramatic look.
