About the Museum

The Jean Jennings Bartik Computing Museum has a twofold mission: First, to honor the accomplishments of Northwest alumnus Jean Jennings Bartik whose pioneering work on the ENIAC, the world's first electronic computer, and the UNIVAC, the world's first commercial computer, helped to shape the digital age we now live in. Second, to document and showcase Northwest's technological development.

Currently, the museum, which has an extensive collection of computing artifacts, has on display an original ENIAC Decade Ring Counter, which is on loan from the Smithsonian Institute. There is also an original Remington-Rand miniature model of the UNIVAC I.
