Founded by gaming archivist and historian Frank Cifaldi and with Steve Lin, Simon Carless, Mike Mika, and Chris Melissinos on its board, the Video Game History Foundation has a noble goal: the creation of a searchable digital library of documentation and artefacts relating to the history of computer and video gaming, ranging from high-resolution scans of game packaging and documentation through to internal company memos and verified-clean binary dumps of the games themselves. The team is also expanding Frank Cifaldi's magazine collection into a permanent reference library, which it says is to be housed on the West Coast of the US '.'The Video Game History Foundation has no intention of becoming a museum, however. '' the team explained. '' the Foundation has claimed. 'While the Foundation claims to have digitised considerable material already, it is not quite ready to make the archive fully public. In the run-up to a full launch, and as part of a fundraising initiative, the Foundation is instead running a series of blog posts highlighting key items from its collection - beginning with materials from the launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and its lesser-known predecessor the Advanced Video System (AVS).More information on the project is available on the official website
