REVISION 2a: (January 2022)
← HOME

After a 30 year career with Hewlett-Packard South Queensferry, Hugh Walker was given the chance in 2010 to review a treasure chest of material that was being shipped initially to the Agilent Corporate Archive in Santa Clara, California. He knew that it was unlikely anyone would see the material again, so he set about copying and documenting the many boxes of material.

This online resource contains the curated Archive, combined from aural, physical and electronic material collected over 12 years. This was the source material for his definitive 3 Volume History completed in 2021.

Here are some quick tips:

• You can display folders and files as a list or in a grid. Use the rectanguler icon at the top right of the Google Drive page to switch between these view modes. Using grid view shows files as thumbnails which makes it easy to look around a folder full of images.
• Double click a folder to enter the folder; double click a file to view and, optionally, download it.
