History

The museum's origins date to 1981 when a Baltimore ComputerLand franchise had computers in inventory that instantly became historic artifacts with the introduction of the IBM Personal Computer.[2]

The museum was incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) in 2018 as the Maryland Technology Museum with the trade name the System Source Computer Museum.[3] In 2021, the museum became the new home of the DigiBarn Computer Museum.
