Hands-on STEM learning
We’re developing opportunities to explore programming, electronics, and troubleshooting through real vintage computers.
STEM & learningA home for computing history.
Coming soon.
LIVCM brings early personal computing to life through vintage machines, the people who used them, and hands-on discovery. Our collection currently focuses on Commodore, with plans to include Apple and Radio Shack.
We’re preparing to open at Islip MacArthur Airport in Bohemia, New York. Public opening dates have not yet been announced. Find visit information.
Preserving machines—and their stories
We restore computers to working condition where practical, preserving the wear and markings that tell their history. Alongside the hardware, we document the memories, discoveries, and everyday experiences of the people who used it. Our purpose is to preserve that knowledge and pass it to the next generation.
Learn, experiment, and connect
A vintage computer community
Help shape a monthly in-person user group for demonstrations, shared discoveries, and conversations across generations.
Join the conversationHelp bring the museum to life
There is work for more than computer experts. Help catalog the collection, write narrations, test software, prepare activities, or spread the word. We also welcome inquiries about equipment and financial support as we develop the museum.
