Preserving the history of Commodore (Facebook Group) [message #354777] Thu, 19 October 2017 18:19

Hi All,

There are dozens of websites, forums and Facebook pages for the purpose of exploring the technical bits of Commodore. And really, there should be. Commodore was a tech company for part of its history. There are also dozens of Commodore fan pages and that's also a wonderful thing.

I have no desire to add to that or replace what's already out there. What I am hoping to achieve is to focus on the historical side of the company. Probably every day, somewhere in the world an attic is cleaned out and an old Commodore brochure is thrown away, or the instruction booklet for a Commodore game, or an old Commodore advertisement. Or maybe someone worked for Commodore and they have old company memos laying around. I wanted to set up an easy way for folks to share those items instead of just throwing them in the garbage. Also, I wanted people who grew up with Commodore but maybe aren't still fans to have a place where they can go to reminisce.

If you have a moment, please check out the Facebook group I started a few weeks ago. If you'd like to join, please do so. I'll be happy to have you. I would also really appreciate it if you have scans, pictures or stories you'd like to share with everyone else. The group is tiny at the moment, but I'm hoping you can help it to grow.

The group can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1985860541658665/

I hope to see some/all of you there.

Thanks!

Dave
