Computer History Museum recalls ‘astonishing’ retro haul recovered from abandoned German warehouse — over 2,000 artifacts spanning the 1930s to 1980s required seven tractor-trailers after a WWII bomb scare
The Computer History Museum (CHM) has recovered over 2,000 historical computing artifacts from an abandoned warehouse in Germany. The collection, spanning from the 1930s to the 1980s, includes a vast array of media types, mainframes, minicomputers, and peripherals. The recovery effort, which required seven tractor-trailers, was briefly halted by the discovery of an unexploded WWII bomb nearby. This significant acquisition has led the CHM to expand its facilities to house the new collection, now part of 'The SAP Collection'. AI
