 Kotaku.com has a feature today discussing the Library of Congress and a new initiative to begin to catalog and preserve video games.
According to the feature: "the LoC is teaming up with major universities across the country to begin a 2-year initiative with the sole intent of figuring out just how institutions can preserve video games for years to come, while making the content accessible for use and study." This is truly a milestone in the history of video gaming should this come to fruition. Not only are they looking to obtain the media itself for each game but all facets of culture surrounding the game, meaning, posters, flyers, and yes even that old pac-man swatch you got when you were 10. This can only mean good news for the video game industry as it will present a historical importance giving video games the same depth that the LoC has given to music and movies.
