The Relics Project
This project has two aims:
- to catalogue and preserve the various artifacts of historical interest stored around the lab,
- to create video recordings of lab members who used our early computers talking about those artifacts,
The project started in September 1997, and the first recorder was Prof. David Wheeler.
- A Virtual Exhibition, featuring major machines from the history of the Computer Lab.
- Search the database. Over 150 items from the earliest days of the Mathematical lab to the present day.
