Collecting and Preparing

Opening Updates

Well.... We got too much stuff!
Over the last four months, in our effort to bolster the collection for the museum, we've gone a little crazy and completely filled our space with computers and accessories!

Not to fear, we've been able to lease a new space in the same building to build our exhibits in. It just means that we're a little behind in our opening schedule. We are now anticipating aligning the opening of the museum with the start of school in early September.

The Collection is Strong!

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.

Preparing for our Grand Opening!

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.
