PARC was founded in 1970. https://www.parc.com/about-parc/parc-history/ https://www.parc.com/about-parc/parc-history/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARC_(company) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARC_(company) (The Wikipedia article says 1969 in one place and 1970 in another, but 1970 is what PARC's site says.)
