In the history of computing's early years, scholarship on the history of software lagged behind that of the history of computer hardware. This happened even though descriptions of how to program—or adjust, in that time's parlance—computing devices was essential even before the first computers. This Annals special issue is the fifth in a series of issues dedicated to the history of software. For the first four issues—"The Start of the Software Products Industry" (vol. 24, no. 1, 2002), "PC Software: Word Processing for Everyone" (vol. 28, no. 4, 2006), "PC Software: Spreadsheets for Everyone" (vol. 29, no. 3, 2007), and "Mainframe Software: Database Management Systems" (vol. 31, no. 4, 2009)—Burton Grad and Luanne Johnson served as guest editors. This special issue on "Relational Database Management Systems: The Formative Years" is the first in a two-part focus on RDBMSs.
