[SIGCIS-Members] Digital Equipment Corporation Collection at the Computer History Museum

[David C. Brock]

Dear List:

The Computer History Museum is pleased to announce that our Digital Equipment Corporation collection is open for research.

The Digital Equipment Corporation records are 1,239 linear feet of material in 1,343 boxes. The records represent the largest and most complete set of DEC records in existence, dating from 1947 through 2002, with the bulk from the company’s years of operation from 1957 through 1998, when they were bought by Compaq Computer. The collection is a comprehensive technical history of every major computing innovation at DEC, as well as its nontraditional business culture.

The finding aid for the collection may be found here: http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/finding-aids/102733963-DEC/102733963-DEC.pdf
