European Museum on Computer Science and Technology 's website is an informational resource only. Although the website is referred to as a "European Museum," the website focuses on the Ukraine's Computer, Science, and Technological History. Users can view the website in Ukrainian, Russian, or English and alternative websites with a faster internet connection. "The European virtual computer museum represents a network of interconnected virtual computer museums. Its Ukrainian part - 'History of development of information technologies in Ukraine' (http://www.icfcst.kiev.ua/museum) is developed and maintained on a voluntary basis by employees of the Institute of Cybernetics of the National Academy of Sciencies of Ukraine named after Viktor M.Glushkov."

Konrad Zuse
Various papers and simulation programs for the Z chip.
Konrad Zuse (1910-1995) built the first program-controlled computing machine in the world. He has brought his inventions, patent outlines, talks and lectures to paper between 1936 and 1995. This archive offers chronological and subject-based access to these documents spanning the work of Zuse. Software simulations of his computing machines help to understand the technical documents.

The website is an informational resource. Users may access archival holdings using the website or through Stanfords Library's Manuscripts Division. "The centrality of Silicon Valley in the recent history of science and technology has made this region a major focus of scholarly and journalistic inquiry.... Few areas in the world compare with the region known as Silicon Valley as a center of scientific and technological innovation. The rapid growth of high-technology industries has transformed society, and Silicon Valley scientists and engineers have left as their legacy such developments as the laser and the microprocessor, the personal computer, video and sound recording, the integrated circuit, video game technology, aerospace and office automation, high-energy physics, and recombinant-DNA.... Even in a place where so much attention is focused on the future, it is important to value the past. This is the mission of the Silicon Valley Archives, housed in the Special Collections of Stanford University Libraries. To study the origins and development of Silicon Valley in detail, researchers require access to primary source materials –unpublished professional correspondence, research notes, diaries, journals, project files, technical reports, organization charts and other corporate records, patent applications, blueprints, company brochures, product documentation, photographs, and transcripts or recordings of speeches and interviews. These records are the building blocks of history. Stanford’s Silicon Valley Archives identify, preserve, and make this documentary record of science and technology –and related business and cultural activities in Silicon Valley available to students, scholars, and the general public."
