Colorado Computer Museum is a 501(c)(3) publicly supported nonprofit corporation dedicated to the preservation of the history of information technology. Unlike most historical and interpretive institutions, they exhibit as much of their collection as practicable in an interactive way.
The original motivation for this project was that there seemed to be no one interested in saving vintage computer equipment for posterity – the moment an object became obsolete from an economic point of view, it was junked. To make things worse, the typical destination was a landfill – the materials weren't even recycled. At the same time, the idea of a static repository of old hardware doesn't seem to really capture the flavor of the olden days of computing.
Most of the collection remains in storage, but they have created an interactive traveling exhibit which will be deployed for our use.
