I'll put in a plug for my recent book (check out chapter 3), and also my article from the IEEE Annals ("Only The Clothes Changed"). See mariehicks.net for details.

Best,

MH

Computer History Museum made a collection at some point, although it’s brochures: http://www.computerhistory.org/brochures/overview.php

I had a little collection of scans, too: http://www.aresluna.org/attached/computerhistory/ads?language=en

Paul Atkinson’s book seems somewhat related: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Objekt-Paul-Atkinson/dp/1861896646

Hope this helps.

Dear list members,

For an article I’m writing I am interested in the history of computer adverts in newspapers (1955-1995), but I am having a hard time to find literature on the topic.

Maybe some of you could suggest me some literature on computer advertising ?

Also, I would be interested to find collections of computer adverts, possibly digitized and accessible online. Any suggestions ?

Best,
Enrico Natale
