<p>November sees the start of the White Paper effort, GDC being announced and some more news posted. The UK's NVA was also launched with a gusto, but I hope to have a report later this month about that. A bit late this time, I was at GameCity when November started - next month I won't be so tardy :) </p>
<h3><span></span><span>Preservation SIG Updates </span></h3>
<p>We've started the <a title="http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG/White_Paper" href="http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG/White_Paper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">White Paper</a> behind the scenes, although if you want to help write it before our January deadline - or even just to help proofread it when it's complete (where you get a sneak peek at it of course :) ) then give me a shout. </p>
<p>I've not uploaded much to the <a title="http://www.archive.org/details/gamevideos" href="http://www.archive.org/details/gamevideos" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Internet Archive</a> this month because of some events (like GameCity), but I did manage to get up some quick bits - <a title="http://www.archive.org/details/Red_Alert-Counterstrike_Sizzle" href="http://www.archive.org/details/Red_Alert-Counterstrike_Sizzle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Red Alert Sizzle adverts</a> and more impressively the long <a title="http://www.archive.org/details/The_Witcher_Making_of_Movies" href="http://www.archive.org/details/The_Witcher_Making_of_Movies" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Witcher Making Of</a> movies (over 2 hours of the stuff). </p>
<h3><span></span><span>November Preservation SIG Work </span></h3>
<p>The <a title="http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG/White_Paper" href="http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG/White_Paper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">White Paper</a> has started, but we could use some help on the Memorials section if anyone can lend a hand writing anything more. There have been some backlog and a few we've missed adding recently too which I hope to sort this month. </p>
<h3><span></span><span>Mailing List Discussions </span></h3>
<p>If you've not joined our <a title="http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/game_preservation" href="http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/game_preservation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">mailing list</a>, please do so. We've never tried using our forums it seems :) we stick to old-fangled email. We have had discussions on <a title="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000577.html" href="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000577.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Older Versions of Programs</a> (leading into patches), <a title="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000595.html" href="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000595.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">XBLA delistings</a> and the <a title="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000558.html" href="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000558.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Games for Arts Sake</a> collection being announced. Finally, some discussion on being a <a title="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000607.html" href="http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2008-October/000607.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">proofreader</a> by spending some small amount of time in January helping us would be great :) </p>

<h3><span></span><span>Final Thoughts </span></h3>
<p>I'll be sorting my PC so won't be uploading a lot of material to the archive, but while I have a lot of previews/trailers and cutscene files to upload and some remaining interviews, I've uploaded a lot of my useful documentary content. If anyone knows of any source material for interviews, documentaries and "making of's", it'd be great to have them on the archive! </p>
<p>Thanks all, </p>
