About

It is our great pleasure to invite you to take part in the 2nd Collaborative Game Histories seminar and workshop at the Finnish Museum of Games in Tampere, an event co-organized by the Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies and the University of Turku. Details regarding the last year’s event can be found here.

We would like to provide a forum for a focused discussion on issues related to game history research and preservation. In the second installment, we are especially interested in exploring various aspects of collaborative practices related to game heritage process, involving not only academics but also collectors, hobbyists, participatory historians, retrogamers, as well as educators, GLAM space experts and other cultural institutions’ professionals.
