[game_preservation] UK National Videogame Archive Visit

[Andrew Armstrong]

Hey all,

I visited Tom Woolley at the start of the National Videogame Archive 
<http://www.nationalvideogamearchive.org/> at the National Media Museum 
<http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/> in Bradford, UK today - on 
behalf of the SIG in fact :)

I wrote up a report on my site 
<http://aarmstrong.org/journal/2008/11/05/national-videogame-archive-visit> 
because I can't upload images 
<http://aarmstrong.org/gallery/v/photos/visits/nva/> on our Preservation 
blog (I wonder if anyone noticed ;) ) - check out the pictures, I took a 
picture of most of the stuff, this archive is *very very* new and new to 
the Museum in most ways.

I have also put a link from our blog too 
<http://www.igda.org/preservation/archives/2008/11/preservation_si.html>. 
I'll be getting an interview with him at some point to get some better 
detail and it was a good discussion I had about the state of things 
currently - should be good!

This is a start of the IGDA Game Preservation SIG's elite journalistic 
hack team! I'm willing to do more reports and interviews if people are 
interested in reading them (they do take my time up after all) - and I 
also need, obviously, people to interview or report about, so post if 
anything comes up.

Once the new IGDA site is complete I'll be able to upload images (or I'd 
better be able to!), and make the site much better, allowing me to 
/actually do this on the real site/ , yay! :)

Andrew
