Wow those Polaroids are going on 42 years old. Wonder how they're preserved/archived.
Incredible part of early Apple history, a lot of which was destroyed around the return of Steve Jobs to Apple in the late 90s.
- CharlesW 5y ago> Incredible part of early Apple history, a lot of which was destroyed around the return of Steve Jobs to Apple in the late 90s. I'm curious why you think this! Apple donated their museum and historical collections to Stanford in late 1997, and given the comprehensive nature of the gift I'd be very surprised to hear of a Jobs-driven "purge" before that happened. https://news.stanford.edu/pr/97/971119apple.html https://news.stanford.edu/pr/97/971119apple.html
- tito 5y agoOooo that's good info, thanks! I seem to recall reading it somewhere, perhaps as context after the publication of AppleDesign: https://www.amazon.com/Appledesign-Apple-Industrial-Design-Group/dp/1888001259 https://www.amazon.com/Appledesign-Apple-Industrial-Design-G... Really appreciate your correction here!
- CharlesW 5y agoI don’t know for sure either, but I’ll be sad if that happened!
