The Virtual Museum of Computing (VMoC) is an eclectic collection of links and online resources concerning the history of computers and computer science.^[2]^[3] It includes links to other related museums, both real and virtual, around the world, as well as having its own virtual galleries of information. A particular feature is the early computing pioneer Alan Turing, among others.^[1]

This virtual museum was founded by Jonathan Bowen on 1 June 1995, originally at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory in the United Kingdom.^[4] It has been supported by Museophile Limited^[5] and also forms part of the Virtual Library museums pages (VLmp), supported by the International Council of Museums (ICOM).^[6] VMoC was subsequently hosted at the University of Reading and London South Bank University, and was mirrored around the world as part of VLmp. It is now available as a wiki on the MuseumsWiki, hosted on Fandom (formerly Wikia).^[7]
