  Happy Day of the Programmer! We’re sharing some of our top collections of 
computing & software materials, from historic games to vintage magazines.





                                A Unique Holiday

                                Happy Day of the Programmer! This holiday 
comes around on the 256th day of every year (since a byte can have 256 
possible values). This year, that's September 13th. To celebrate, we’re 
sharing some of our favorite collections of computing and software 
materials; whether you’re a tech guru or a complete noob, there’s sure to be 
something you'll find interesting!




                                The Emulation Station

                                The Internet Archive Software Collection is 
the largest vintage and historical software library in the world, with over 
790,000 titles! Not only is this a valuable resource for those who study the 
history of computing, but it’s also full of thousands of fun and interesting 
games and toys. Many of these programs can be emulated right in the web 
browser, allowing you to see exactly how the original software worked. Take 
a spin on some of the world’s earliest gaming consoles, or get a new high 
score on a retro arcade title!

                                Printing the Digital

                                As computers started to transition out of 
labs and offices into ordinary people’s homes, a new genre of publication 
arose–the computer magazine. New technology made new consumers, and new 
consumers wanted to know more about their new purchases, setting the stage 
for the home computer revolution. Whether they were intended as marketing 
tools from major brands, shopper’s guides for everyday consumers, or 
resources for new users, these magazines are a fascinating peek into the 
early days of personal computing.

                                READ ON




                                Tech TV

                                Our huge video archive contains a variety of 
materials related to computers and technology–training films, conference 
talks, event recordings, and even a few broadcast TV shows. Among these is 
Computer Chronicles, which was on air from 1983 to 2022, and was for a while 
the world's most popular television program on personal technology. 
Exploring cutting-edge technologies from online shopping to artificial 
intelligence, this collection of episodes serves as an excellent 
introduction to the computers of yesterday.

                                WATCH NOW


                                Whether you write software or just use it, 
we hope you have a happy Day of the Programmer. Enjoy the archive!
