Allan Bushman, Atari Archivist

If you've ever looked up an Atari computer manual at Internet Archive, chances are you've come across some of Allan Bushman's scans. For well over 13 years, Allan has been uploading scans of Atari-related catalogs, manuals, and books to the archive. Before that, since 1995 or before, Allan contributed to AtariMagazines.com and AtariMania. With a particular emphasis on finding and archiving Atari Program Exchange manuals, Allan has helped save the vast majority of the APX library.

This interview took place on April 19 2026 at Vintage Computer Festival East.

As of this recording, only 10 or so APX manuals have yet to be found and scanned.
