1980s micro-computers introduced many to the digital age. Despite the importance of early micro-computing to the digital present, this early period is yet to be scrutinised by digital media scholars. This project recovers the local history of this most important media technology in the period 1976-1992, across the spectrum of practices in digital arts and culture. Delving deeply into the history of creative software and hardware practices, seeking to understand early users and their encounters with computers, and collating metadata on the products of their practice, this project builds the foundation for securing and remembering Australian digital cultural heritage.

20世纪80年代的微型计算机将许多人带入了数字时代。尽管早期的微计算对数字时代的重要性，但这个早期阶段还没有被数字媒体学者仔细研究。该项目恢复了1976年至1992年期间这一最重要的媒体技术在当地的历史，涵盖了数字艺术和文化的实践。该项目深入研究创意软件和硬件实践的历史，寻求了解早期用户及其与计算机的接触，并整理其实践产品的元数据，为保护和记住澳大利亚数字文化遗产奠定基础。
