Where to Donate your old Digital Equipment Corporation stuff:

Computers, Documentation, and Logo Souvenirs

From time to time, we receive inquiries about where former employees can donate their old Digital computers, documentation, and/or marketing souvenirs.

The DEC Connection has collaborated with different partners who have resources, real estate and an academic interest in keeping Digital Equipment Corporation and its legacy alive for future generations. We are happy to refer folks to these partners.

If you know of additional organizations that would be interested in receiving donations, email webmaster@decconnection.org with the details (organization name, contact name, email, phone number) and they will be added to this page.

For marketing promo items such as logo souvenirs the DEC Connection website has a museum page. Send a digital photo of yourself with your computer or logo souvenirs to webmaster@decconnection.org to be posted on our page.
