About RCM Software Library

The RCM Software Library sits quietly in Leicestershire, a specialist collection that appeals to a very specific crowd - software historians, computing enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how we got from punch cards to what's on your phone. It's not a flashy visitor attraction with gift shops and cafes. This is proper archival work, preserving software that most people have forgotten existed.

You'll find vintage software, documentation, and computing artefacts that tell the story of how software developed over decades. If you're into retro computing or the history of technology, you'll find genuine interest here. For casual family visits though, it's probably not the draw - unless your kids are genuinely keen on old operating systems and early programming languages.

Located near Leicester, it's worth a visit if you're already in the area exploring the city's museums or staying at one of the nearby holiday parks like Village Farm Getaway or Fox's Furrow. Ring ahead or check their website for opening hours and admission details, as access can be restricted depending on their current operations.

Really, this works best as a half-hour detour rather than a destination in itself. Pair it with Leicester's better-known attractions - the Richard III story or the city centre museums - and you've got a proper day sorted. Software nerds will get far more from it than most.
