Description:

The DigiBarn survived the 2020 CZU fire inferno!Deepest gratitude goes to the Internet Archive for your heroic efforts in storing our Apple documents collection. The fire was stopped a mile from here and caused us to rethink our future direction towards preservation. We are starting with an initiative to scan and preserve the rarest documents, all to be provided to you online. Please contact us if you would like to donate to support this effort with finances or time. - Dr. Bruce Damer, Founder and Curator New for 2019 PCC #1!

Bob funded Doug Engelbart s lab in the mid 1960s creating the first interactive computing information environment using a mouse and conceived of and headed the ARPANET project, forerunner of the Internet. In the 70s he directed the Xerox PARC Computer Science Lab which brought us the Alto. the first networked personal computer, and ran DEC labs in the 80s-90s launching the first Web search engine before Google.
