DigiBarn is proud to present digital restorations of original Xerox videos from the introduction and first years of the Xerox Star 8010 professional workstation as well as videos from the CHI '98 demo of the Xerox Star and from the final public demonstration of the Xerox Star held at PARC on June 17, 1998. It was at this demonstration that your curator, Bruce Damer, decided to build the DigiBarn site which led to the full development of the DigiBarn Computer Museum project three years later.
