What the charity does
Archives of IT (AIT) was born out of a passion for preserving the heritage of the UK tech sector and inspiring future generations to consider STEM careers. We have a growing, free online archive of video interviews with technology leaders, from 1950s computing pioneers to today's leading entrepreneurs, and an education programme powered by these tech pioneers' stories.
