Traveling Exhibit: A Brief History of the Computer
Most of the collection remains in storage, but we have used selected items to create an interactive traveling exhibit, entitled "A Brief History of the Computer," illustrating the development of the electronic digital computer. This exhibit can be deployed at your site by arrangement - please contact us for details! The traveling exhibit has been well-received at schools, trade shows, civic clubs, etc. over the last several years, and can be viewed on a self-guided basis or accompanied by a talk of about 45 minutes duration.
Following are some informal photos of the exhibit deployed in various locations:
