In seinem Programm vom 24. Juni 1987 verpflichtete sich das Deutsche Historische Museum der "Aufklärung und Verständigung über die gemeinsame Geschichte von Deutschen und Europäern".
Bevor diese Idee umgesetzt werden konnte, gab es heftige und kontroverse Debatten in der deutschen Presse. Sinn, Aufgaben und Realisierungschancen eines von der Bundesregierung in Berlin ins Leben gerufenen Nationalmuseums zur Geschichte Deutschlands bezweifelten die Skeptiker.
Die Gründungsurkunde für ein Deutsches Historisches Museum konnte am 28. Oktober 1987, anläßlich der 750-Jahr-Feier der Stadt Berlin, von Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl und dem Regierenden Bürgermeister der Stadt Berlin, Eberhard Diepgen, im Gebäude des Reichstags unterzeichnet werden.

The Deutsches Museum is one of the biggest museums of technology and science in the world. It is not a state museum but an independent public institution. Under the terms of its constitution it has the right of self administration and functions under the protection and supervision of the Bavarian state government.
Besides its main building on the Munich "museum island" the Deutsches Museum also has two branch museums:
The Deutsches Museum Bonn and the
Flugwerft Schleißheim some kilometers northwest of Munich

The University of Virginia's Computer Museum was conceived and created by Professor Gabriel Robins, who also serves as its curator.

The museum contains various computer-related artifacts, both historical and modern. Most of the artifacts shown here are physically located in display cases in the hallways of the Department of Computer Science (Olsson Hall) at the University of Virginia.
These artifacts came from the personal collections of some of our faculty members, and several other donors, including Professor Sam Cooke of the University of Louisville. To see an enlarged view of any or the artifacts / photos, please click on it.

This page all about old machines such as pdp11, dec20's and other old VAX systems. I've also included information about old hard drives that were sold at the time.
I added the latter when a student told me a picture of a Fujistu Eagle hard drive was a power surge protector
