European Computer and Video Game Archives and Museums Joining Forces to Preserve Gaming Legacy
RAPALLO, ITALY – March 26th 2012 – A group of leading game preservation projects in Europe is announcing the formation of a European federation of organizations dedicated to the preservation of digital interactive entertainment and information media.
Computer and video games have become an integral part of our cultural heritage. For more than 60 years now, they have been shaping the way we think and live together. To preserve the legacy of digital interactive entertainment and information culture, initiatives have been established all around Europe since the mid-1990′s.
Many of these initiatives are now forming a new umbrella organization under the name European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects (EFGAMP). EFGAMP’s aims are to:
* Advance the availability of digital interactive heritage
* Gather and circulate knowledge about digital preservation
* Strengthen the European information society
* Represent members and partners of EFGAMP on a European and global level
* Network with other digital preservation communities worldwide
* Lobby to advance the conditions of digital preservation and the accessibility of digital interactive entertainment heritage
The formal founding of a non-profit organization and selection of hosting country will take place in the coming months. Any organization that has an interest in participating in this federation can write to contact@efgamp.eu with inquiries.
