[game_preservation] Library of Congress Wants to Preserve Video Game Culture

[Henry Lowood]

Jason,

Great minds think alike!  I was there (at the conference), and I am 
trying to put something together in terms of a project idea as we 
speak.  I'll have a bit more to say about this early next week.   One 
of my thoughts was to pull IGDA into the loop as soon as I can tell 
if there is enough traction in forming a possible collaboration.

Weird, I just wrote an e-mail about a phone conference this afternoon 
dealing with this, then I read your post.  Like I said about great minds ...

Henry
