The mission of the Minitel Research Lab, USA is to create a comprehensive, independent digital Minitel museum and resource center; to explore the technical, social, political and legal significance of the Minitel network; and to make creative use of the machines to incite critical thinking about network design.
The Lab was founded by communication researchers Julien Mailland and Kevin Driscoll. The physical collection is held in Bloomington, Indiana, at Indiana University. We'll be happy to show it to you - just email mailland at indiana dot edu for an appointment.
