This article introduces the Symposium on the History of CITASA, the Communication and Information Technologies section of the American Sociological Association, from 1988 through 2005. It traces this history from the interest of those who founded the original Microcomputing section in developing computer applications for doing sociological research and teaching. It discusses the fit of this interest with the continuing "war" in the organization of computing between computer center centralization and individually autonomous decentralization. It explains the expansion of the scope and membership of the session to encompass the sociological study of communication and information technologies.
