HP and HPE have jointly hired
HeritageWerks, a public relations agency, to digitize and display the HP photo archives on a website. Many early photos.
Products featured at the top
level tend to be unusual ones; dig deeper into the site for
coverage of the more successful and long-lived products.
The site is designed to emphasize
social consciousness,
quality of
worklife, and technical
innovation.
