Welcome to the Babbage pages at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Here you’ll find a collection of materials about Charles Babbage’s life and times, his computational engines, and his design notation. You will also find information about modern reinterpretations of some of Babbage’s designs, including open-source hardware models suitable for 3D printing.
