For a history of the computer (and other very interesting information), the Computer of Science Department at the University of San Francisco is an excellent source. They maintain The Alan Turing.net website.

Computer History Museum http://www.computerhistory.org/
The Computer History Museum maintains a broad range of artifactual, documentary, and media-based sources in computer history, one of the most important and comprehensive such collections in the world. The Museum's strength is chiefly in post-WWII electronic computing but it also maintains a representative collection of objects from earlier eras.
The collection was begun in the early 1970s and has grown in the intervening years to comprise five separate collections with many thousands of individual objects. The five collections are: Artifacts, Documentation, Ephemera, Software, and Media (Film/ Video/Audio). Portions of these collections are searchable on-line as the Computer History Museum digitizes its collections catalogs on an ongoing basis. Eventually, most of the Museum's holdings will be accessible on-line.
