Having taken so much effort to establish this invaluable record of Britain's pioneering work in the field of computing, it would be a pity to let the current lockdown jeopardise it. Sadly, the pandemic has meant that the museum has had to close its doors to all visitors, including the many school groups it usually hosts. It depends on these visits for almost all its income.
If you visit their website at http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/ you will see that they are appealing for donations to help sustain them at this difficult time. They are trying to raise £38,000 and have made a good start, but there is still some way to go. If you have anything to spare after contributing to health-related funds, please help to make sure we do not lose this precious resource.
