Immediate Source of Acquisition

Gwen and Gordon Bell loans converted to gifts in 2012 and 2014.

Biographical/Historical Note

Gwen Bell earned her B.S. from the University of Wisconsin in 1957 and a Master of City and Regional Planning from Harvard University in 1959. She earned a PhD in geography from Clark University in 1967. Bell co-founded what is now known as The Computer history Museum with her husband Gordon Bell and Ken Olson in 1975. Gwen Bell was the Museum’s first director and was active with the Museum until 1998.
Gwen and Gordon Bell began proactively collecting pre-computing artifacts in 1975. Their first purchase was a 1903 six digit Millionaire calculator. By the time the Digital Computer Museum opened in Marlboro, MA in 1979 they had approximately 80 books, calculators, and navigational instruments. When The Computer Museum History Center (TCMHC) was established in Mountain View, CA in 1996, the collection had grown to roughly 400 artifacts and books, which they had on permanent loan with TCMHC.

Scope and Content of the Collection

The collection documents the early origins and development of human measurement and computation through rare books and related artifacts. Dated between 1541 and 2000, the collection contains over 200 books of algorithms and tables, and monographs on measuring and computing devices, as well as nearly 300 machines and devices related to the books.

Arrangement

The collection is arranged into two series:
Series 1, Algorithms, tables, and history of calculation books, 1541-1995, bulk 1800-1955
Series 2, Pre-computing artifacts, circa 1600-2000, bulk 1850-1975
