Donations

The museum is always on the look-out for new items to add to our collection. We welcome offers of donations of anything IBM, including hardware, software, tools, test equipment, photographs, documentation or other media.

If you do think you have something that the museum might need, please contact The Connex Team or info@ibmhursleymuseum.info in the first instance. In rare circumstances, where we may already have a number of a certain item, we may say, "Thanks but no thanks." We've not done this yet!!

Items can be brought to Hursley in person by prior arrangement, or despatched to the museum at Mailpoint 156, IBM United Kingdom Ltd., Hursley Park, Winchester, Hants. SO21 2JN. The museum curators are usually available on Thursdays but if you can't make a Thursday let us know.

Soft copy can be emailed to info@ibmhursleymuseum.info. You can send scanned images in Jpeg format, audio / video files in popular formats such as .avi, .mp3. For large volumes contact Peter for an FTP address.

Donations August 2023

The museum curators are extremely grateful to the family of Tim Clarke for the donation of a number of personal computers, adapter cards and a System/390 server.

The following photos show the donations just after curators delivered them to a museum holding room prior to cleaning, testing, cataloguing and moving to their final destinations.
