Video Game History Foundation to Launch Public Digital Archive Next Week

The archive will provide access to over 1,500 out-of-print gaming magazines and rare development materials starting January 30.

The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) will make its digital library available to the public for the first time on January 30, 2025.
The archive includes over 1,500 out-of-print video game magazines, promotional materials, and never-before-seen game development assets.
Users will be able to perform advanced searches for specific games, publishers, authors, and terms, making it a valuable tool for researchers and historians.
The digital collection will not include playable games due to current US copyright restrictions, which prohibit remote access to out-of-print titles.
The non-profit organization, founded in 2017, relies on public donations to support its mission of preserving video game history.
