_{_{A
Hands-On History of Information Technology}}(TM)

The following is a (very) non-exhaustive list of articles we would like to obtain for the collection. In some areas, several items are listed, any one of which would enable us to achieve our immediate purpose. On the other hand, we are always open to the possibility of acquiring additional examples of objects we already have. And, of course, history is being made every day! Part of our mission is to "collect for the future," which in today's climate of rapid change often means that we need to collect relatively current (and even experimental) items before time sweeps them away. Naturally, objects in working condition and including any pertinent documentation and accessories are the most desirable, but incomplete and non-working items may also be accepted depending upon rarity and historical significance. Software and documentation (including technical and marketing materials) for any objects we have or hope to have are generally desirable, as are vendor-specific memorabilia of many varieties.
