As we continue to collect ahead of our grand opening in July, we have reached an important milestone! We now have over 50% (55% in-fact!) of pre-Intel computers, 51% of pre-Intel accessories, and 43% of all Apple computer models total!
Our goal is to reach 100% of non-current generation computers and accessories, and to have at least one working example of each.
We're also starting to work on our hands-on exhibits! We just got our POTS and dial-up modem service running, so now Macs with modems can dial in! More on this soon...
Thanks to the generous donation from DNR Labs in Watertown, CT, the Retro Tech Foundation Museum now has a home! We hope to open to the public in July 2025 as we organize and prep the space with our collection.
What began as a personal collection in 2001 by founder Jacob Komar during his project "Computers for Communities", today RTF boasts over 270 computers and 490 accessories in its inventory.
With an ultimate goal of reaching 100% of every Apple product ever released, in combination with select non-Apple computers to help tell the story of computing, we're still looking for donations! Check out "The List" to see if you have anything we're looking for!
