I don't think there are. There certainly is a computer museum in Seattle,
but it's LCM, not CHM. (AFAIK, there's no TCHM.)
because I've recommended and plan to vector all I
have of interest to the
Mountain View one.
While I certainly encourage people to do that, please bear in mind that you
generally can NOT expect CHM to accept most items that are proposed for
donations. They are, of necessity, very selective.
Unfortunately sometimes they turn down donations because they are unaware
of (or underestimate) the historical significance of a particular artifact.
CHM has some excellent curators, but they can't be experts on everything.
If you offer to donate something that you believe has exceptional
historical significance, be sure to document that in detail.
