Who we are

The Retro-Computing Society of Rhode Island, Inc. exists to further
the preservation of historic computers and to increase the awareness
of the history of computers and their development. One of our primary
goals is to restore historical systems to operational condition. We
currently function as a users' group for those with an interest in
vintage computer hardware systems and software.

RCS/RI provide a forum for discussing, and a means for exchanging,
information about computer systems and software that is of historic
interest. This is done through a mailing list and this WWW site. We
meet in person on the third Saturday of each month at our facility in
Providence, RI and hold our monthly Open House on that day.

Founded in the autumn of 1994 as an informal association of computer-
history enthusiasts, RCS/RI incorporated on 1 January, 1998 under the
laws of the State of Rhode Island as a non- profit corporation and is
governed by a board of directors.

We lease a 1,500 square- foot space in an old mill complex which
serves as our main facility. That location is used for office space,
a documentation library and media archive, and a workspace to repair
systems and storage for the RCS/RI collection of historic computers.
The collection may be viewed by appointment, but please contact us at
least a week in advance to make arrangements if you'd like to visit
on a day other than the monthly open house.

RCS/RI are based in Providence, RI with individuals from throughout
southeastern New England (and a few more distant). While it was
decided to start the group locally to encourage meeting in person,
all are welcome to participate. There are no dues or membership fees
for casual association nor is admission charged to view the
collection.
