The CCH and LEO Computers Society entered a partnership in the summer
of 2018 for the storage and archiving of LEO memorabilia. At the same time the
Partnership submitted a bid for funds from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for support of
further work in archiving and providing education and presentations noting the work of
the LEO pioneers. The project has been completed but the partnership continues.
A short description of the LEO project, including photos can be found at:

The main outputs of the project were:
- The archive, much of which has been digitised. The digital archive is presented as part of Leopedia and can be found at: https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/pages/52267/LEOPEDIA/
- A new documentary film about LEO, available on YouTube and accessible via the blog: https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/pages/52267/LEOPEDIA/
- A Virtual LEO I app, available to use at CCH and also via tablet devices – see https://www.leo1.co.uk/
