Bugbook Historical Computer Museum

Bugbook Historical Computer Museum, Computer museum in Floyd, Virginia, United States

The Bugbook Historical Computer Museum is a computer museum in Floyd County displaying hundreds of artifacts from different periods of computing history. The collection includes vintage machines, accessories, and technical equipment that show how computing technology developed over time.

David G. Larsen, a Virginia Tech faculty member for 31 years, began collecting computer artifacts after entering electronics through a 1957 Navy assignment at Remington Rand UNIVAC in St. Paul. The LCF Group (Larsen, Gaynell Larsen and Dee Wallace) ran the museum in Floyd from 2008 until it closed in May 2016. Larsen then donated most of the collection to what became the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art in Roswell, Georgia.

The museum's name comes from the Bugbooks and Blacksburg Continuing Education Books, instructional series written by the Blacksburg Group in the late 1970s and 1980s; curator David Larsen was a member of that group. The displays drew on his forty years of collecting computer artifacts and memorabilia.

The museum operated in Floyd, Virginia, from 2008 until it closed in May 2016, so it can no longer be visited there. Its holdings, several hundred items from David G. Larsen's collection, were largely donated to what became the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art in Roswell, Georgia. Four original Apple-1 computers were shown only by special request.
