You mean the archives of IGDA, not creating an archive at IGDA for
material from other sources. Right? <br>
<br>
The former is an important question and something that makes sense for
our group to look at. The second I would leave to the cultural
repositories who are building infrastructure for this. I doubt that
IGDA will want to invest resources in an historical archive.<br>

As the Preservation SIG, we should certainly be concerned about the
data archival abilities of the IGDA. Not sure who would be in charge of
that to ask, though...<br>

apology here, I'm sorry this is late. It is a travesty of an example
when I'm the one touting project work to be done, man I pretty much
suck at timing this really.<br>
<br>
Just in case anyone cares: in what little spare time (besides starting
the Bibliography website work) I have had I've been deeply playing
Mount & Blade, which isn't an excuse, just a brilliant game. Also
sadly the start of the month the IGDA site had issues, which really
wants me to confirm they do have a backup plan somewhere, hehe :) Next
months update should be on time, along with some reports from two
events I'm visiting this month related to videogame preservation.<br>
<br>
Luckily at work, Lunchtime is a prime hour for getting this done. :D<br>
