- April 24, 2024 - A History Speaks presentation by the Upper Arlington Historical Society. Special thanks to our series lead sponsor, First Merchants Bank.
Founded in 1969 and by 1973 headquartered in Upper Arlington, “CompuServe grew through the 1970s and 1980s into the first major online service in the U.S., offering chat and email to tens of thousands of customers, not to mention helping bring newspapers and stock trading into the digital age. It was known for its entrepreneurial and innovative culture, one which co-founder and former CEO Jeff Wilkins helped spark.” (GeekWire, 2015.)
Jeff leads us through the history of CompuServe and the many innovative technological solutions developed and managed from its Upper Arlington location.
Thanks to UA's Community Relations Committee for their grant to pay for this recording, and to The Wellington School for hosting this event.
