About the archive

Preserving the feeling—not only the specifications.

HomeMicros documents the machines that introduced a generation to games, programming and the idea of personal computing.

A living collection of machines and memories

Technical details tell only part of the story. HomeMicros connects each machine to the people who encountered it in homes, schools and computer shops.

The archive begins with Sinclair, Commodore, Amstrad, BBC Micro, Acorn and NewBrain. It combines concise histories, photographs and personal accounts in an accessible modern format.

This website concept is an independent private preview. No connection has been made to the existing live website or its publishing system.
