[game_preservation] Art History of Games

[Henry Lowood]

Devin,

Just passing along what the organizers sent this morning, with the 
request to distribute.  I'm not an organizer, only a mere speaker.

I think it's possible the talks will coalesce as a book, which would 
document the proceedings.   If you mean volunteering to help out the 
organizers, you would want to contact John Sharp or just send e-mail to 
the address in the announcement.
