I wonder if I am typical in thinking that information for my
institution was picked up already, but not being able to remember if I
filled out the survey. Is there a list of institutions that have
already been covered? <br>
<br>
As for the NVA in the UK, to whom did you write? James Newman is one
of the founders; I have his e-mail address, if you need it.<br>

<div>Hello everyone. I updated the Survey of Game Preservation
Institutions and added it to Survey Monkey in order to increase the
number of respondents. So far, I have heard back from maybe 25% of
everyone I sent this to. (Maybe part of it was due to he holidays).
Incidentally, if anyone knows contact information for the National
Video Game Archive in the UK, the Computer Gaming World Museum, the
Library of Congress National Game Registry, the game preservation group
at the Smithsonian, or the National Videogame Archive, please let me
know! I was having trouble contacting each of these groups.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So as a reminder, if you have not taken the survey yet, please
do so! If you have already taken the survey, there is no need to take
it again! Remember, this is a new survey to collect contact and
background information on game preservation groups and initiatives <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.igda.org/Game_Preservation_SIG/Videogame_Museums,_Archives,_Displays_and_Collections">related
to this project</a> and is different from last year's survey sent by
Rachael Donahue regarding game preservation <i>methods</i>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The survey has been shortened to 10 questions, so it shouldn't
take more than 10 minutes to fill out. Information from previous
surveys that is not on this survey will not be distributed.</div>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span"
style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
purpose of this survey is to document game preservation institutions
and initiatives (i.e. libraries, archives, museums, projects) in order
to foster connections between game preservation institutions worldwide.
Data from this survey will be used to construct a directory of
libraries, museums, archives, and preservation projects specializing in
game preservation for access on the International Game Developers
Association (IGDA) Game Preservation Special Interest Group website (<a

as well as a bibliography of essays and books on the preservation of
games.</span><br clear="all">
