A collection of raw disc archives. These archives have been donated/obtained as physical collections of floppy discs. The discs were converted to digital images and are presented here. Some of the contents appear in the main educational archive. These disc images are the raw files collected and may include items not in the main archive. In almost all cases the original discs are in the Centre for Computing History collection at Cambridge.
