In Fall 2003, the Software Preservation Group (SPG) was formed by a group of trustees, staff, and volunteers to explore how to collect and preserve software in support of the Museum mission. The work of the SPG includes:

• Preserving and collecting software
• Identifying best practices
• Fostering an open alliance of the many broadly-based collecting efforts taking place today.

The SPG maintains a web site describing its current projects, which include early FORTRAN, Lisp, and NLS/Augment. The SCC meets regularly and has a distribution list of more than 80 interested volunteers.
