Donate Historical Materials

The mission of the Computer History Museum is to preserve and present for posterity the artifacts and stories of the information age. It is impossible to collect everything from the history of computing so the Museum collects representative hardware, software, ephemera, photographs, audio recordings, moving images and documents.
The Computer History Museum already has an extensive collection of historical materials. Search the collection to see a portion of the Museum collection. Most mass-produced items are well represented in the collection, including a number of items that we are no longer collecting. However, if you have a piece of computing history, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The collection is still growing and we are especially looking for items that are unique such as prototypes; personal papers; rare machines produced in low-production runs; odd products which never made it to market; software source code; and homemade items. We are also particularly interested in items and papers by a seminal inventor or contributor, e.g. Seymour Cray, Steve Wozniak, Linus Torvalds, etc. Please keep in mind that we collect photographs, personal papers, moving images and software in addition to hardware. Here is a wish list of items we are especially interested in adding to the collection at this time.
Please use this form to let us know what you would like to donate.
