Hi new guy Joe! :)<br>
<br>
Nice website, I suppose there is a physical collection somewhere (and
yeah, it'd be cool to know where or how you'd get to see the stuff!).
It'd be nice to have details if you accept donations for our <a
href="http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG/Contributions">Contributions/Donations</a>
page if you accept such things :) (contact me off list if you're
interested in helping with info for the page).<br>

welcome to the group. <br>
<br>
Not that I am going to show up on your doorstep, but where is your
collection physically located? Is it possible for people to
see the materials you have collected?<br>

Chris Lepine was kind enough to email me, and let me know about this
list. Some people I know personally, some only by reputation, and
some not at all. I just wanted to give a big Hi to everyone, and
thank you to the moderators of the mailing list.<br>
<br>
Some background on me:<br>
<br>
I'm Joe Garrity, and I run a (horribly incomplete) website called The
Origin Museum. I specialize in preserving and archiving gaming
artifacts related to Origin Systems. My experiences in game
preservation are varied, but I don't like to think of myself as an
'expert'. I will be asking many questions during my time here, and
I hope that folks are nice enough to share their knowledgebase, and
give
advice.<br>
Mostly, my focus is on preserving the physical artifacts--game boxes
and
manuals, design documentation, artwork, props, promotional material,
etc. Some of the Museum's accomplishments can be found on our
website--take a look, and you'll see what I mean:<br>

On the digital front, I was recently involved in a joint-effort with
the
Wing Commander News guys, to archive what was left of EA's holdings of
Origin (as Chris reported last month). It was a real blast to be a
part of that effort, and I certainly learned a lot about digital
archiving.<br>
<br>
well, I hope that I can do my part in way of game preservation. If
anyone thinks that I can help with any projects, or needs info on the
Museum's collection, I'm always glad to provide.<br>
