Company History & Facts

A short-form History & Facts of the Hewlett Packard Company is visible in the Quick Tour part of this Web Site. The top banner of each timeline picture is a selector to display the story by ten year period steps. We do not plan to work further on this side of the story at short-term.
Many other sources of information are available to learn more. A lot are listed in the Resources chapter of this Web Site and obviously a visit to the official HP Invent & Agilent Technologies Web Sites is mandatory. We are not trying to be more accurate about the Hewlett Packard history than the people who made it and who are continuing to do it !
The Hewlett-Packard Company Web site has various dedicated Historical chapters, an interactive timeline, and a Virtual Museum which are the main sources of the official history.

Products that built the Story

The HP Invent Web Site also displays interesting information relative to the timeline of instruments and computer production. This information is meant for the public in general. We would like to develop a more technical approach with a deeper insight into the product concepts which so frequently make an HP new product an important innovation to its product line category or to electronic science in general.

Continuing to do so, starting in october 2007, the first chapter of Timeline "Product Design" gives access to a library of animated pictures displaying inside views of a selection of the most significant products designed by HP all through their great contribution to electronic and computation technology.
