There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Do you remember your first computer? First floppy disk? What about your first cell phone or first video game console? In honor of Project One, the Georgia Tech Library invites you to submit items for a crowdsourced celebration of our technological past. The deadline to apply to submit items is September 29.
In October the Library will feature the display of treasured technology pieces from the personal collections of Georgia Tech faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Consider loaning an item (such as an old cell phone, a disk, a hardware component, etc.) from your collection to be featured for one week behind glass in our secure exhibit case. Your item doesn’t have to be particularly old, rare, or valuable; it just has to be meaningful to you. The exhibit will invite viewers–both in-person and online–to explore the personal side of our technological lives and inspire them to design the future by hacking the past.
