My investigation did some good though. The
photo-archivist at Compaq was
about to finalize arrangements to transfer DEC's archives to MIT when I
introduced them to the Charles Babbage Institute. It doesn't matter who gets
the photographs as long as they are preserved, but at least now, with the
advice and encouragement of the professionals at the CBI, we will hopefully
discover that all sorts of other important DEC memorabilia will be preserved.
Great move Kevin! I'm not sure about MIT's abilities at maintaining an
archive of important docs and photos as I am not familiar with their
abilities. CBI is a an excellent choice as they're a responsible
organization setup to maintain such archival material. And some of it is
accessable to us as researchers. Just by looking thru the Search aids they
offer on their website, there is a great deal of detailed info a researcher
could look at.
