Museum of Technology Showcases Rare Systems at Vintage Computer Festival Southeast

The Museum of Technology (MoT) represented Middle Georgia State University with distinction at the Vintage Computer Festival Southeast this past weekend. Faculty Curator Tina Ashford engaged with attendees throughout the event, answering questions about the MoT’s exceptionally rare Archistrat 4s and 4b computers - systems that continue to draw interest from vintage‑technology enthusiasts and computing historians alike.

The festival offered a valuable opportunity to connect with collectors, technologists, and educators who share a passion for retro hardware and digital heritage. The MoT’s participation reflects MGA’s growing presence in regional STEM and public‑history communities, reinforcing the University’s role as a steward of technological innovation and education.
