The Institute was established in 1997 to excavate, preserve, research, and present interesting and historically significant computing devices. Our headquarters are located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and our museum and research facilities are located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Some of the Institute's computers are on loan to the VintageTech Archive in Oakland, California.

We have limited space and resources, but we often do accept donations of pre-1981 computer-related material, and if we cannot accept a donation, we can often refer donors to other organizations and individual collectors who can.
