Description
Since its launch in 2011 CC-IN2P3's computer history museum has been visited by 13'000 people. It is home to more than 1000 artefacts, among which are France's first web server and a mysterious french micro-computer called the CHADAC.
We will demonstrate through our experience and several examples that physical and digital preservation of IT infrastructure components while being a paramount task in its own right, also serves education and science at large.
We will describe the scope of our activity, and discuss the challenges of running a computer museum in a French Tier-1. We shall underline the national and international context, and hopefully trigger interest from our community : what about HEPiX's heritage ?
