That box of floppies in the attic might hold the only surviving copy of something. Before you recycle a machine or toss a stack of disks, let us take a look — we accept hardware, software, and paper from 1977 to 1998.
If it ran on early hardware, we want to hear about it
Condition is rarely a dealbreaker — we recover from media most people would throw away.
Microcomputers
Apple II, Commodore PET & 64, TRS-80, IBM PC, early Macintosh, Atari.
Storage media
5.25" & 3.5" floppies, cassettes, cartridges, and EPROMs — even unlabeled.
Software & manuals
Boxed titles, documentation, reference cards, and dealer literature.
Source & listings
Printed BASIC and assembly listings, schematics, and internal memos.
Ephemera
Magazines, advertisements, user-group newsletters, and packaging.
Peripherals
Drives, cards, modems, and oddities — the stranger the better.
Four steps, and we pay the postage.

Describe it
Fill out the form below — what you have, roughly how much, and its condition. Photos help enormously.

We review
An archivist checks it against the collection and the rescue priority list, then writes back.
- 03
Ship or pick-up
We arrange packing and postage, or a local pick-up in the Snoqualmie Valley. You never pay shipping.

Acknowledged
You receive a written acknowledgement for your records and, where it fits, a credit in the archive.
Post-1998 hardware, CRT monitors with broken glass, and anything still under commercial license. Unsure? Ask anyway — we’d rather you check.
Offer materials
Nothing is too small or too damaged to ask about. Tell us what you’ve found and we’ll take it from there.
