Visiting

Tuesday to Friday, 09:30–16:30. Order material at least five working days ahead; larger accessions held offsite in Hertfordshire need a fortnight. Bring photo ID.

Depositing records

We accept papers documenting the design, sale, maintenance and use of computing systems in the UK and its former markets. Speak to the curator before a clear-out, including media you assume is unreadable.
