Computer pioneer Jan A. Rajchman’s papers (Record group 23) provide insight on the early days of computer research, while Joseph A. Weisbecker’s papers (Record group 11, Series VII) show developments in hardware and software and the beginning of the age of
personal computers and computer games. The papers of Edward C. Fox and Charles M. Wine (Record group 7, Series II and V) bring the story into the 1990s with the unsuccessful attempt to create a virtual reality <a name="1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(76, 131, 175);" class=""></a><span class="hitsection" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="subhit" style="margin: 0px; padding: 4px 3px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">video</span> <span class="subhit" style="margin: 0px; padding: 4px 3px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">game</span> system.</span></p>

Dear colleagues and list members,<br class="">
<br class="">
This is a question that has kept me busy for quite some time, yet I am <br class="">
afraid I might have missed some crucial bit of information, and this is <br class="">
why I would like to address it to you.<br class="">
<br class="">
Are there any preservation institutions (archives, museums etc., apart <br class="">
from The Strong Museum / National Museum of Play in Rochester/NY) that <br class="">
host either company archives of computer game companies or personal <br class="">
papers of people involved in the production and marketing of home <br class="">
computer games in the 1980s and early 1990s?<br class="">
<br class="">
As I already mentioned on this list back in February, I am doing a <br class="">
post-doc research project on the transnational history of <br class="">
(non-commercial, low scale) home computer games piracy before the mass <br class="">
availability of the Internet, and, of course, the perspective of the <br class="">
back-then games industry is crucial in this question. Of course, the <br class="">
industry back then was extremely volatile - when companies went <br class="">
bankrupt, the last thing they thought about was preserving their <br class="">
archives (in the case of Psygnosis, for example, as far as I know <br class="">
everything was simply dumped). And those very few 1980s companies which <br class="">
are still active are very seclusive about their archives (which is <br class="">
sort-of understandable, given the retromania of today and their possible <br class="">
hopes of reviving/porting old titles).<br class="">
<br class="">
Nevertheless, the papers of Broderbund, Sierra On-Line, and a couple of <br class="">
other companies luckily ended up at The Strong - and to my knowledge, <br class="">
this is the only public institution that hosts materials like these. But <br class="">
maybe I missed some essential info? Are there any other holdings I am <br class="">
not aware of, particularly concerning the European games industry?<br class="">
<br class="">
I would be very thankful for any hints (as well as for contacts to <br class="">
former game studio and/or publisher/distributor folks who still might <br class="">
have kept their business papers).<br class="">
<br class="">
Best wishes,<br class="">
Gleb<br class="">
