The Centre for Social Anthropology and Computing was founded in 1985 by Prof. John Davis. The Centre was originally organised to focus computer-related activities within anthropology at a time when departmental organisation was more or less absent. Since that time anthropology has been organised into a formal budgetary entity, first BOSSSA, and most recently DOSSA. Initially CSAC was directly involved in teaching and training, as well as research. The teaching functions have been almost entirely incorporated into DOSSA, and instructional computing, with the exception of Lucy, the CSAC Unix server, is now funded from devolved equipment funds. The Department makes contributions to maintain Lucy, and has contributed some capitol expenditure.
