Volunteer Organization

The museum project aims to develop educational workshops and events dedicated to schools, using vintage technology, calculators, watches, and computers as tools for learning and discovery. The activities are designed to introduce students to the history of electronics and computing through practical demonstrations, historical materials, and interactive experiences.

If you have vintage watches, calculators, computers, electronic components, documentation, or other historical objects that you would like to donate to the museum project, please contact us through the website. We can evaluate the material and determine whether it is relevant to the collection and its historical documentation. Donations help us preserve and share the heritage of vintage technology for future generations.

You can support the TI Watch Museum ODV by choosing to allocate your 5×1000 tax donation to the organization or by making a direct donation. Your contribution helps us preserve and document historical technology, expand the collection, develop educational activities, and work toward the creation of a permanent museum in Rieti. Details on how to make a donation or allocate your 5×1000 contribution are available in the dedicated sections of our website.

Yes. Where available, the website provides historical documentation such as circuit diagrams, service manuals, user manuals in PDF format, technical documentation, and vintage software related to the devices in the collection. These resources are intended for historical, educational, research, and restoration purposes and help preserve the technical heritage associated with vintage electronics and computing.

The TI Watch Museum ODV is primarily dedicated to the preservation, documentation, and study of historical technology. We do not currently offer a general repair or restoration service for private individuals. However, the experience and technical knowledge developed through the preservation of the collection may be useful for sharing information, restoration techniques, and historical documentation with enthusiasts and collectors.
