Preserving Video Game History - I Love Libraries
ilovelibraries.org info
We love videogames here at I Love Libraries—especially the first generation of home videogaming systems and their games. Unfortunately, many of these systems and their games have become difficult to find, much less in working order. Thankfully, libraries, institutions, and archivists have stepped in to archive and preserve this essential element of gaming and pop culture history.

I Love Libraries: Article on Preserving Video Game History
I Love Libraries is a public awareness site run by the American Library Association, aimed at promoting the value of libraries and librarians to everyday people. It publishes articles, news, and resources about what libraries offer communities.
This particular article covers the role libraries and archivists play in preserving video games as cultural artifacts. Video game preservation is a recognized challenge because older hardware, physical media, and proprietary software decay or become obsolete. The piece likely touches on efforts by institutions to archive games before they are lost. The ALA has broader advocacy around digital preservation and access to information, making this topic a natural fit for the site.
