The Blinkenlights Archaeological Institute was established in 1997 to preserve historical computing devices. Its headquarters are in Seattle, Washington, USA. Some of its collection is on display at VintageTech in Oakland, California, and the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
The name of the institute is a tribute to the term "blinkenlights" originated in hacker humor.
Famous quotes containing the word institute:
“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
