The Computer History Museum Oral Histories

The Computer History Museum (CHM): Oral Histories & DEC Resources

Many of you will remember the Computer Museum that appeared around 1980 in a Marlborough facility lobby (MR01 or 02), started by Gordon and Gwen Bell. It later expanded to an industry-wide purview that was housed in Boston near the waterfront. With the growth of Silicon Valley's software industry, it moved to Mountain View CA where it still resides and thrives... details in this article from CHM's 35th anniversary.
One of CHM's long-term projects was to collect oral histories, documenting the origins and growth of the computer industry, from well-respected computer hardware and software engineers. Since about 2005, they have compiled over 1000 such interviews (audio and video). Several Digital engineers have contributed to this project. Here are links to their interviews, which are 1-3 hours in length. (There may be others whose names we didn't recognize.) Videos are in bold font.
