Excerpt: 

Calculators, computers, and video games are all high-tech tools of the mind. Teachers may find students fascinated by early examples and willing to engage in high-tech archaeological "digs" in their local community. These artifacts, combined with their disks and cartridges, may be disassembled and analyzed, restored and displayed or operated as functioning units--an archaeological, technology challenge that gives students a historical perspective about the computer revolution, both its software and hardware.
Traditional antiques are at least 100 years old, but given the rapid, unprecedented changes in microcomputers, game machines, and calculators, any such product that is 10 or more years old might be considered antique. This website is an attempt to create a web museum of many of these amazing artifacts of the twentieth century that I have owned. The following list provides links to illustrations to each model, original prices (when known), and basic specifications.

Annotation: 

This site has a truly astronomical number of images of old computers, calculators, computer related games, and related artifacts. The images are not accompanied by much additional information. At the end of the list, a few links lead to further resources.

Author: 
Oregon State University
Excerpt: 

The primary objective of Special Collections at Oregon State University's Valley Library is to maintain and preserve the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers. Linus Pauling is considered to be one of the most important scientists and humanitarians of the twentieth century. With the use of the Pauling collection as a cornerstone, a secondary objective of the Special Collections will be to document the development of science and technology in the twentieth century. The Special Collections will be of particular interest to researchers concerned with 20th-century science and science-based technology, and to those investigating the development of science. Find out more about our Collections.

Annotation: 

The Special Collections at Oregon State University's Valley Library maintains and preserves the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers as well as the papers of lesser known scientists and projects including collections about the history of atomic energy, the philosophy of nature and the papers of Milton Harris, Eugene Starr, Paul Emmet and David and Clara Shoemaker. The Special Collections includes three sites relating to Linus Pauling. The Papers site includes information about the over 500,000 items in the Linus and Ava Helen Pauling papers. These items are catalogued and searchable and a few have been digitized. Other sites provide information about the Linus Pauling exhibition which is not in a digital format, and the Linus Pauling Centenary. This part of the site includes a chronology, image galleries and recent books about Linus Pauling and his projects. This is accompanied by information about researching at the Special Collections.
