[game_preservation] CFP: Game Preservation at SW/TX PCA/ACA

[Devin Monnens]

Hi all!

I wanted to forward this again to the list. The deadline for submitting
proposals to the Southwest/Texas PCA/ACA conference in Albuquerque is
rapidly approaching (December 14) and I was hoping there would be other
people interested in presenting on game preservation. I will be hosting the
panel at the conference, but need some more papers for it! (Looks like we'll
be having a paper all the way from Japan, so this is a great opportunity to
meet some international game preservationists!) If any of you would be
interested in presenting at the conference, please let me know! It would be
great to have some people from the White Paper there, particularly since
Judd Ruggill and Ken McAlister will be attending as well. I have also
expanded it to include game history papers as well, but the more
preservation papers, the better!

So if there is anything you want to talk about regarding your preservation
projects, or game preservation theory in general, please let me know!

CFP: Game History and Preservation
Computer Culture Area
31st Annual SW/TX PCA/ACA Conference
February 10-13, 2010

Participants sought for a panel on computer game history and preservation.
The
longevity of computer games is threatened by the decay of digital
storage media (bit rot), the obsolescence of older hardware and
software formats, and copyright laws that prevent their archiving. If
preservation efforts are not initiated soon, a vast part of computer
game history stands to be lost. This panel will explore in detail the
issues surrounding game preservation, including preservation
strategies, areas of focus for the archive, and case studies of
computer game archiving. The panel will look to expand on research
conducted by the International Game Developers Association Game
Preservation Special Interest Group and their 2009 White Paper.

Please send a 250 word presentation proposal and your full contact
information to Devin Monnens via e-mail (dmonnens at gmail.com) no later
than 12/15/2009
