Connected-Earth
Partner Museums and Vehicle Collections
Connected-Earth
BT's Connected-Earth project was officially launched in April 2002. It featured a virtual collection of knowledge and artifacts on the web at www.connected-earth.com as well as a number of real 'partner museums' throughout the UK, overseen by BT Heritage.

BT gradually stepped back from the project, and in late 2019 the connected-earth website was discontinued. The partner museums continue to look after and grow the telecommunications collections at varying locations in the UK.
