We are in contact with the ex-DEC club of the UK, who are still active and have achieved success on an incredible project!
They
have created several Digital museum exhibits, working with partners (below), to commemorate the 60th anniversary of
the opening of the Reading, England facility, which is ongoing during 2025. Here is a link to the Events page which features a summary of the 2024-2025 exhibits and ceremonies.Here is a press release issued 26 Sept 2023 announcing their UK Lottery funding grant.
They
have recruited partners in this effort, including 2 national UK
museums, DECUS (UK), the British Computer Society, and the Reading University
Computer department. With
this government
assistance, they are planning to create a permanent
museum space. We have sent materials for their
museum to Sandy MacKenzie, formerly in sales at Digital, who planted
the seed at the Reading Museum for the inclusion of Digital's impact on
Reading, and arranged for the partnership to present a DEC Connection
Zoom in December 2023.
