The history of the programming language [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]] begins with the development of earlier members of the [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]] family of languages during the second half of the twentieth century. During the design and development period of Scheme, language designers [[Guy L. Steele]] and [[Gerald Jay Sussman]] released an influential series of [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT) [[AI Memo]]s known as the ''[[Lambda Papers]]'' (1975–1980). This resulted in the growth of popularity in the language and the era of standardization from 1990 onward. Much of the history of Scheme has been documented by the developers themselves.<ref name="steele_history">{{cite web |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230302184733/http://www-mips.unice.fr/~roy/JAOO-SchemeHistory-2006public.pdf |title=History of Scheme |last=Steele |first=Guy |date=2006 |website=Sun Microsystems Laboratories |format=PDF slideshow |access-date=2023-04-05 |archive-date=2023-03-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230302184733/http://www-mips.unice.fr/~roy/JAOO-SchemeHistory-2006public.pdf |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref>
