A Computer Museum
summary

Covers practical history: rescuing the museum from near bankruptcy, growing the collection (from ~35 to 500+ active machines and thousands in storage), running a 1,090 m² public site open daily with volunteers, and providing digital heritage services (reading old media, repairs, and hands‑on exhibits) while collaborating internationally and acting as a Dutch government computer‑heritage expert.
