For over 20 years, Brantford Local Computer Guru SYD BOLTON has dreamed of opening a museum to
showcase the history of personal computers. Many children have no idea about life before a
‘mouse’, when ‘green screens’ ruled the day, and a time well before the Internet was available
to everyone. Relive your earlier computer days or find out how we roughed it in the 70’s and
80’s.
Over 45 interactive computer displays, over 300 computers in total.
Apple • Atari • Amiga • Commodore • Macintosh • Radio Shack • IMSAI • IBM • Next • Mattel • Timex • Xerox • Coleco
And many more! Many working models you can play with!
The museum is next open on Saturday, September 13, 2008

The Personal Computer Museum is open on select dates. Come and
visit Brantford’s first computer museum, unique in all of South Western Ontario, Canada. We not
only have computers but a large software library (with many video games), magazine and book collections and other
interesting artifacts. Even the restoration of our building has a story, so come and see
us soon! Fun for the whole family, first floor is wheelchair accessible.
If you are interested in having an audio guided tour for your next visit, download the audio tour guide MP3 (39 MB) and
put it on your iPod, cell phone or other music player. This 55 minute tour gives you detailed information
about each and every machine on display.
We are always looking to expand our collection. Please check out
our most wanted page for the machines we are after. We are the perfect place to recycle old computers, so bring them to us during our open houses. Recyling computers is important to us.
