Excerpt: 

This permanent exhibit provides a selective decade-by-decade/year-by-year overview of IBM history. For more detailed information, visit our Documents section where you will find materials containing a comprehensive list of key events and developments in IBM business performance, organization, products and services, alliances, science and technology, facilities and corporate citizenship.

Annotation: 

The IBM Archive offers users access to a large number of historical material that covers both the products offered by the company over the years, and the corporate culture that IBM developed during more than a century of business operations. A host of exhibits deal with a wide range of topics from women at IBM to IBM and space flight. One of these exhibits is a lengthy timeline of IBM history that starts in the 1880's and proceeds to the present. The site also provides online access to a great number of documents such as the official announcement of the first IBM personal computer or a collection of quotes and proverbs by company executives. The site also contains images of vintage machines, a few audio files, and a list of links.
