The '''history of the [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]] programming language''' begins with the development of earlier members of the [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]] family of languages during the second half of the twentieth century, the process of design and development during which language designers [[Guy L. Steele]] and [[Gerald Jay Sussman]] released an influential series of MIT [[AI Memo]]s known as the ''Lambda Papers'' (1975–1980), the growth in popularity of the language, and the era of standardization (1990 onwards). Much of the history of Scheme has been documented by the developers themselves.<ref name="steele_history">Guy Steele, 2006, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, [http://research.sun.com/projects/plrg/JAOO-SchemeHistory-2006public.pdf History of Scheme] (slideshow, PDF)</ref>
