EARLY COMPUTERS PROJECT

The EarlyComputers website is attempting to provide you with original research using primary source materials whenever possible. Aside from making use of the rare computers in the EarlyComputer's collection, we are also making use of the Smithsonian, the National Archives, numerous other collections (such as Bruce Damer's DigiBarn collection) and personal interviews with individuals who were involved in bringing about the personal computer revolution... EarlyComputers.com is based on an eclectic collection of vintage computers, peripherals, manuals, publications and related materials. The collection focuses on personal computers that were made between 1975 and 1981 (the advent of the IBM PC) but is not limited to that era. It includes portable computers from as late as 1985 and analog computers from as early as 1955. We collect related materials, in addition to the actual computers. In fact, one of our most prized possessions is an April 1889 Author's Reprint of Herman Hollerith's..
