A faculty member here at CU-Boulder directs the Media Archaeology Lab: http://loriemerson.net/media-archaeology-lab/. As far as I know, there aren't any geospatial software/hardware components in the lab, but she would be a great person to contact for information! I'd be happy to make an introduction if you like.

Subject: Vintage GIS and Mapping Software


Dear List,



We recently received a donation of old GIS and map software on 3.5" AND 5.25" floppy disks (along with a vintage Apple IIe and lots of hardcopy manuals). I was wondering if any of you know of any archives that collect or preserve this kind of thing, or anyone who know best practices for preserving software.



The software we received includes (mid-80s through mid-90s vintage):

Applepips

Micropips

DIAS

Threshold

OSU-Map

Atlas Graphics

Terra Base

PC-Globe

Crossroads

Surfer

IDRISI

Desktop Mapping System

MapGrafix



Would love to hear if you've had experience with this sort of thing!
