| | Computer History Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Computer History Museum is a museum established in 1996, when the Boston Computer Museum sent its large mainframes and historical artifacts collection to Moffett Field for storage so that the Boston Computer Museum could concentrate more on modern computers. | | | When the Boston Computer Museum closed in 1999, its remaining historical artifacts were sent to The Computer Museum History Center at Moffett Field([2]) and the remaining computer exhibits were absorbed into the Museum of Science collection in Boston. | | | Thus, it was originally The Computer Museum History Center until 2001 [1]), and dedicated to preserving the history of the information age and the computing revolution. |

| | The Computer History Museum is a visitor attraction, archive and deposit centre for the history of computing and computer culture, based in California's Silicon Valley. | | | Short summaries of individual events from the established historiography of computing are presented: the subheadings under which they are classified -- "computers"; "people and pop culture"; "software"; "components"; "robots and artificial intelligence"; "networks"; "companies" -- define the scope of the survey. | | | At the University of Wisconsin, the toll was one human and four machines"): the material may be of help to some beginning students looking for an overview of the field, but is unlikely to be better than the established print sources. |
