The Creation of Google

The process of the creation of Google started in March of 1998.  Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both students at Stanford University and happened to be “partners” for a research project.  They were working on the Stanford Digital Library Project, also known as the “SDLB.” 



Sergey Brin immigrated to the United States from Russia at age 6.  He studied at the University of Maryland to earn an undergraduate degree, and soon after graduating, moved to Stanford University to acquire his PhD in computer science.  



Larry Page was born in Eastern Michigan. His father, Carl Page, had a PhD in computer science, so Larry, following in his father’s footsteps, was also interested in computers.  At the University of Michigan he received a Bachelor’s degree in science and computer engineering.  He later went to Stanford University where he met his partner Sergey Brin.
