In January 2007, the British Computer Society made a substantial donation to secure the future of Colossus, the world’s first digital computer, in its original location where it cracked codes during World War II and played a key role in the Allied victory.
In September 2008, in a joint initiative PGP Corporation and IBM made contributions to help expand and modernise the museum and to enhance the educational opportunities it offers. A dedicated website (http://www.pgp.com/stationx) was set up to facilitate the collection of donations and to garner support from the technical community worldwide and to encourage further contributions to the cause.
Also in September 2008, the School of Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire made a donation from its commercial earnings from its online degree programmes.
In October 2009, InsightSoftware.com made a generous donation to the museum which has helped us to expand the range of galleries we have open.
Black Marble kindly donated the funds that have allowed us to open the research office next to the Archive. The research office is open to all and given those super bookcases sponsored by BlackMarble, we can now show more of our extensive research archive. Click here for more information.
Other companies and organisations are in discussion with TNMOC and we expect to annnounce further donations soon. If you are interested in making a contribution or wish to discuss any sponsorship ideas, please contact our fundraiser here.
