The Xerox PARC Archive Is Open! Explore the “Office of the Future”



The Xerox PARC archive is open to the public and ready for you to explore!



Beginning in 1970, researchers at Xerox’s revolutionary Palo Alto Research
Center (PARC) worked to develop computer hardware and software for the
“office of the future.” Luckily, they took care to back up their work and
migrate data over time to more updated storage formats.



With help from CHM, a tremendous digital archive of this historic work has
been preserved.



The archive contains nearly 150,000 unique files—around four gigabytes of
information—and covers an astonishing landscape: programming languages;
graphics; printing and typography; mathematics; networking; databases; file
systems; electronic mail; servers; voice; artificial intelligence; hardware
design; integrated circuit design tools and simulators; and additions to
the Alto archive.
