I would like to invite you to share that request,
Museu do Computador & Tecnologia (also referred to herein as "the Museum")
is a nonprofit cultural association, the main goal of which is to restore,
maintain and display computers and artifacts pertaining to the history and
evolution of Information Technology in Brazil and the world. Founded in
1999, the Museum has been receiving a large number of equipment donations
from public universities, municipal administrations,
private companies, and
hundreds of individuals.
The Museum has been considered, by the Harvard-Smithsonian Institute, one of
the most complete collections in the world , with more than 15,000 artifacts
including hardware and software items, manuals, historic documents, and
related materials. It is also recognized as Latin America's only museum
dedicated to the preservation, divulgation and teaching of the memory of
Information Technology.
In order to further expand our collection, we kindly ask for your support by
donating to the Museum the following items:
Old computers, manuals, printers, some cash donation, etc
Your donation shall integrate the permanent showcase as well as itinerant
exhibits put forth by the Museum, thus contributing to the historic
knowledge of the world's most revolutionary and fastest-growing
technologies.
