I believe the link Dag refers to is http://www.historians.org/publications-and-directories/perspectives-on-histo.... It’s a fascinating article (thanks for mentioning it Dag). The author (Trepanier) mentions an edited volume on game studies and history; I note that SIGCIS member Joe November has a chapter in the book, titled “Playing with the Past” (see http://playingwiththepast.com/contents/).

Dag is confused. SIGCIS welcomes links, but bars large attachments because they don't archive, don't go in the digest version of the email, and are not something that everyone on the list would want chewing up their time and bandwidth. Again, links cause none of these problems and are fine.
Every now and then we have a flurry of emails to the list. So I also want to remind those who would prefer their history of computing discussion compartmentalized rather than periodically flaring up to dominate their inbox that our mail management system allows mail to be dispatched in a once a day digest format. Just log in at http://sigcis.org/mailman/listinfo/members (you should receive an email every month reminding you of your login details and subscription options) and change the format option.

Dear group,
There is a very thoughtful article on this often noisy topic in the current "Perspectives on History" by the AHA.
It is entitled "The Assassin's Perspective: Teaching History with Video Games," by Nicolas Trepanier.
I'd love to provide the link to it but SIGCIS has decided not to allow that.
Best,
