Dear SIGCIS members, In case you haven¹t heard, I wanted to let you all know about our upcoming major new exhibit on the history of computing, opening January 11, 2001 (the 40th anniversary of the term ³Silicon Valley.²) Called R|Evolution, the exhibit is over 25,000 sq ft and covers computer history ³from the abacus to the iPod,² drawing on the Museum¹s immense collection of historical objects and photo and document archives. The exhibit is part of a $17 million renovation which will transform the Computer History Museum into a world-class destination. The exhibit features hundreds of videos with original commentary by computer pioneers (from our oral history collection), compelling graphics, and multimedia. And, of course, the exhibit, supplemented with even more, searchable, historical content, will be online as well.

Fellow SIGCIS members, Let me add to Dag’s announcement. I am one of the curators who works on the Revolution exhibition and I plan to attend the upcoming SHOT meeting. If you want to get more details, discuss the exhibition’s content, or just chat, I would be delighted to meet face to face. See you in Tacoma!
