My local charity of the week is the Swindon Museum of Computing, which was the first physical museum of its kind in the UK dedicated to the history of computing. Based in the centre of Swindon at Theatre Square, this wonderful independent, volunteer-run museum works closely with other local museums through the Wiltshire Museums Group and the Swindon Museums Group.
Devoted to the history of computing and digital development, visitors can see a great collection of historic computers such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64, as well as old arcade games, BBC Micros, and a variety of 80s and 90s gaming consoles that you can actually play on. If you haven’t been already, I would strongly recommend a visit.
