As we mentioned last week, Alan Turing’s paper were going under the hammer yesterday afternoon at Christie’s in central London. The rare collection of documents however fail to sell, the bidding coming £60,000 short of the reserve price of £300,000.
Meanwhile, the campaign to keep the papers in the UK has received the boost of £100,000 donation from Google. This means that there is still a chance for the documents to be bought by Bletchley Park.
You can donate here to help Bletchley Park, where Turing worked as a code-breaker during WWII, buy the parpers.
