For over a decade, Carleton University has been preserving a notable collection of vintage computing equipment, gathered from across campus and through the generosity of local computer enthusiasts. Contributions have come from the School of Computer Science, the Sprott School of Business, Carleton University Library, the Faculty of Engineering and Design, and Information Technology Services (ITS). We are pleased to now have the opportunity to permanently display approximately 70 historic computers in the Tutorial Lab HP4155.
On Fri. March 27, 2026 from 2-5 pm we are having an Open-house in our lab to showcase:
- Our newly renovated Tutorial Laboratory, a dedicated space designed to support the teaching and learning of Computer Science.
- The new display of the Carleton University vintage computer collection
Come and join us for tea, coffee, snacks and of course microcomputers!
