What a beautiful collection and in such great quality, thank you
very much for sharing it. Unfortunate only that it's shared on
Facebook, a site I don't normally prefer to use. (Are these
images perhaps also mirrored somewhere else?)

Speaking of old pictures. All my PDP-11 books are loaded with
pictures of people working with DEC Systems. Does anybody know
if these were models and staged pictures or are they pictures
of DEC employees taken around the facility? If the latter, does
anybody know who they are? Anybody from here?

There are some at
https://www.goodgearguide.com.au/slideshow/268510/pictures-tech-yesteryear-where-old-computers-find-their-final-resting-place/
The background on this is that the ACMS (Australian Computer Museum Society)
which is not to be confused with the other ACMS (Australian Chamber Music Society)
have a project to scan Max Burnet's slides and photos for their own collection
and they have a facebook page called the ACMS Retro Computer Group
as well as acms.org.au
