The 2026 Computer Conservation Society Tony Sale Award for Computer Conservation
Tony Sale Award 2026: The Jury’s Verdict
On Tuesday 29th September, The National Museum of Computing hosted the sixth Tony Sale Award, which, apart from the covid years, has been presented biennially by the BCS Computer Conservation Society since 2012. For the first time, the five judges were unanimous in nominating David Lovett’s restoration of a Bendix G-15 computer. The restored computer is now on permanent display at the System Source Computer Museum in Maryland.
The Computer Conservation Society Tony Sale Award began in 2012 as a biennial event.

About the Computer Conservation Society Tony Sale Award
The Computer Conservation Society Tony Sale Award is presented in remembrance of the late Tony Sale, one of the two co-founders of the Computer Conservation Society and a co-founding trustee of The National Museum of Computing in 2005.
Tony Sale was an inspirational figure whose outstanding reconstruction of a Second World War Colossus codebreaking machine pioneered much of the present day work of the Society.
