The BBC Computer Literacy Project 1980-1989 @BBC

A great new web archive has been put up: The BBC Computer Literacy Project 1980-1989.

In the 1980s, the BBC explored the world of computing in The Computer Literacy Project. They commissioned a home computer (the BBC Micro) and taught viewers how to program.

The Computer Literacy Project chronicled a decade of information technology and was a milestone in the history of computing in Britain, helping to inspire a generation of coders.

This new site contains all 146 of the original Computer Literacy Project programs plus 121 related programs, broken down into 2,509 categorised, searchable clips.
