The Computer Conservation Society (CCS ) is a British organisation, founded in 1989. It is under the joint umbrella of the British Computer Society (BCS),[1] London Science Museum and the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry .[2] [3]
Overview [ edit ]
The CCS is interested in the history of computing in general and the conservation and preservation of early British historical computers in particular.[4]
The society runs a series of monthly public lectures between September and May each year in both London and Manchester. The events are detailed on the society's website.[5]
The CCS publishes a quarterly journal, Resurrection [6] [7]
The society celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2014.[8] [9]
Dr Doron Swade ,[10] [update] David Morriss , Rachel Burnett , and Roger Johnson are previous chairs, also all previous presidents of the BCS .
Projects [ edit ]
The society organises a number of projects to reconstruct and maintain early computers and to conserve early software. For example:
Restorations
Reconstructions
Other projects
Software preservation
"Our Computer Heritage" website[13]
Tony Sale Award for computer conservation and restoration[14] [15]
