Abstract
- This article features the Computer History Museum located in Mountain View, California. The museum collection is rich with notable examples of the hardware, software, and ephemera that represent milestones in computer history. When the Computer History Museum acquired its current building in 2002, the former Silicon Graphics marketing and sales office offered enough space for a 400-seat auditorium and still contained more than 450 office cubicles, though many have since been incorporated into exhibit installations. As a nonprofit educational organization, the museum offers in-house research services, a speaker series, and a Fellow awards program. It also hosts special events like vintage computer swap meets, industry alumni gatherings, and new product launches.
