Twenty Five Years Ago: Still Looking at the Future

The EVA London 1990 conference was not the first conference in the emerging field. To the best of our knowledge in the emerging field. To the best of our knowledge this hour belongs to the Computers and the History of Art (CHArt) conference which began in 1985 and also still continues. However EVA London 1990 was the first such Europe-wide initiative with a focus on Museums and also for IT, Telecomms and Multi-media industries. The theme of the first week-long EVA London conference was ‘Museum Applications in Europe’ and was held at Imperial College.
