Turing’s Papers Saved for the Nation

For a while, it looked as though there was a real possibility that Alan Turing’s papers might disappear abroad, possibly to a private collector in Silicon Valley. However, news comes today that the UK’s National Heritage Memorial Fund has pledged £200,000 to make up the shortfall and meet the seller’s reserve price.

So the papers should end up in the museum at Bletchley Park where they rightfully belong. Excellent.
