About the Computer History Museum -
The Computer History Museum is a unique and exciting institution that is rapidly evolving, yet its roots go back almost 30 years. It is home to the world's largest collection of computer-related hardware artifacts, software, documents, photographs and videos. Backed by leaders and innovators of the computer industry, the Museum has a dedicated staff of about 38 and hundreds of volunteers. The Museum purchased its 120,000 square foot building in 2002, and opened its first public phase in 2003. It presents a world-class lecture series, maintains a website with unique and widely-used content, restores old computers, holds workshops and reunions, gives awards, does oral histories, and continues to collect worldwide.
The Museum continues to aggressively expand its presence online. We’re currently building major exhibits both physical and on the web, engaging people interactively, collaborating with other institutions, proactively collecting artifacts and media of all kinds, and starting education and research programs. A major permanent gallery, "The Timeline of Computing History", is being designed now, to be followed in later years by other exhibits. All physical exhibits have web counterparts that additionally provide access to the deep collection. The Museum strives to inform and inspire multiple audiences through a variety of public exhibits and programs that communicate the history and impact of the computer revolution.
