Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, we are stewards of the world’s foremost collection of artifacts and oral histories chronicling the history of computing—the people, companies, and technological innovations that have transformed our world. We decode technology through our work in preservation, education, and conversation, empowering informed digital citizens to make choices for a better future.
We’re committed to a vision of a human-centered digital world, where technology serves everyone.
At CHM, we are united in a common endeavor: to build a world-class institution that preserves the past to serve the future. We value each other’s work helping people make sense of our technological world—where it came from and where it may be headed. We commit to learning about, supporting, and celebrating everyone’s work and unique strengths. We strive to create a CHM culture that is collaborative, caring, and fun, where we hold ourselves accountable, look for the best in each other, and learn together.
We believe that inclusion, diversity, equity and access (IDEA) are fundamental to creating and harnessing technology to serve humanity.
At CHM, IDEA values live in all that we are and all that we do. They are reflected across our organization, through team members and the Board of Directors. They inform who we serve and how we learn with our communities. They live in our collections, exhibitions, programming, content, and education. We are determined to continue transforming to ensure these values are part of our daily work to impact individuals, communities, and the world.
Our commitment to these values is unwavering. Together we can and must make a difference. We look forward to continuing to learn and grow on this journey as we strive to empower everyone to understand and advance technology to shape a better future.
