In fact, everything produced for Atari Computer Camp is hosted at Internet Archive. , the entire curriculum of programming classes, the instructor guide, and all the software that was available to campers. Everything. It’s far too late to attend an Atari summer camp but, using Internet Archive, you can read and do everything that those campers could do. (Except the horses and basketball.)
There’s more, of course, probably even enough information about Atari computers to keep kid-me satisfied. A curated “best of” selection of Atari-related material is in the Archive’s Atari Historical buy sales lead Documents collection. The Atari Computer Books collection has scans of 300 books, definitely more than my hometown library’s 000 shelf. And there’s entire runs of old computer magazines, all readable and searchable in your browser.
I’m grateful to Internet Archive for allowing me to share my passion for these computers by sharing the documents that I find with the rest of the world. And I’m grateful that the retrocomputing nerds in the rest of the world can use Internet Archive to share what they find with me.
In my case, here are some automated or semi-automated tasks I use the ia client command set to do, often daily:
Analyze the text of a set of documents to provide me with best guesses as to their publication date, which I then sign off on
Take a donation of several hundred PDF files and turn them into individual items in a collection, including taking metadata from a .CSV sheet.
