Bits of history...Punched cards were once a ubiquitous part of accounting, data collection and early computing. At their peak of use, in the 1950s and 60s, hundreds of companies around the world printed millions of punch cards every month. Yet within a few years of their obsolescence they all but disappeared from the public consciousness.This archive captures a small selection of these cards and their ephemera, and aims to document and preserve these pieces of history for the future.
