The Joys and Trials of Vintage Computer Collecting (and museum creating) Brought to you by DigiBarn Curator Bruce Damer and DigiBarn Co-founder and Videomaker Allan Lundell At the VCF 6.0

1) Spotting the really valuable (quirky rare stuff) donations and how to best handle them and the kind people who bequeath them on to you. 2) How to gracefully decline other people's offers of donations while getting those same folks to volunteer to contribute their stories (the real valuable stuff in computing history is stories). 3) How to handle the press and put on a great open house without driving your spouse or neighbors crazy.. and yet have all the stuff carefully arranged so that it makes sense (meaningful groupings and timelines, mixing in documentation, schwag and good conversations pieces, and giving good tours whilst recording people for the historic record). How to.. Vintage Computer Collecting

4) How to create a web site for your collection that folks can actually use and contribute to (ie: lay it out as a newspaper that can be read in one long sitting) and 5) How to one day "grow up" and become more professional with a long term museum type of vision without losing the fun and community aspects that draw in the right people and best contributions.
