Computer History Museum

The Computer History Museum will catalog and create access images for 10,000 computer-related artifacts representing new acquisitions and backlogged collections. The museum will recruit and train collections specialists, volunteers, and interns, and build on experience gained in a previous IMLS-supported Phase 1 project, which implemented effective cataloging processes and equipment. The project will broaden and deepen the museum’s searchable online catalog to provide richer collections access for staff, visitors, educators, students, researchers, and other museums and organizations. The project will support enhanced, content-rich experiences through exhibitions, K-12 STEM-infused educational programs, and lectures. The museum will share project results through its website, annual “Core” magazine, and quarterly newsletter.
