Dive deep into the annals of modern tech history

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, especially when it comes to the rapidly-evolving world of tech.

“The heart of this online archive lay in its collection of catalogs, spanning the years 1939 to 2011,” reads the site’s main page. “For 72 years, RadioShack had meticulously crafted these catalogs, showcasing a diverse range of products that mirrored the evolving landscape of technology. From hi-fidelity stereos to communication equipment, from computers to electronic components, these catalogs are a visual journey through the history of RadioShack.”

Both main catalogs and computer catalogs, as well as miscellaneous items and historical information, are available to peruse for free as glorious full-color scans. This extensive effort has been created as a labor of love, and is certainly worth a visit.
