Wikipedia description:

The Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology (1992–2006) was a research institute established at MIT to house the Burndy Library and support academic use of the collection with visiting fellowships, lectures, symposia, seminars, and special exhibits. It was first led by director Jed Buchwald, executive director Evelyn Simha, and librarian Christine A. Ruggere. The institute was housed in a renovated building, E56, on campus at 38 Memorial Drive, overlooking the Charles River. After the institute was closed in 2006, that building was demolished in 2007 to make way for MIT's new Sloan School of Management and the major part of the collection was moved to the Huntington Library in California.
