[game_preservation] Swag archive?

[Andrew Armstrong]

Never seen a site/archive that advertises they take things like this, 
and I would  be pretty sure space is limited to usually more 
manual-inclined material or major advertising (this usually found in 
magazines) rather then flyers...hmm, I do wonder.

I'd not be surprised if it is both useful and necessary to preserve (it 
is pretty useful to reflect on in some cases), but for starters, I bet a 
lot is just thrown out as you said! Perhaps if someone does know 
somewhere, we can all chip in sending stuff to them, even if it is just 
a collector or person who has a lot of spare room, I know I've got a few 
bags of old GDC stuff, and some UK game event stuff too (Develop 
conference and other things) which I'm not really hanging onto for any 
reason other then I've not quite thrown it out yet.
