I've donated small artifacts and papers to museums including the Computer History Museum in the past. I noted that they currently have a few IBM Mainframe related items on the Wish List. If your company or you personally have one of these and is considering what to do with it here is an opportunity to give it to a museum that wants it and will help preserve our professional history.
