Community Memory: Discussion List on the History of Cyberspace ______________________________________________________________________
My colleague Kate Stables at the British Film Institute wonders about how MUDs and MOOs might be archived to provide a historical record for later researchers. On the face of it it seems to be a problem because of their dynamic and social nature. If it is possible, the BFI may be interested in fincing ways of funding some such archiving. Is anyone on the Cyhist list aware of successful attempts elsewhere to archive multi- user games - and if so, what the limits of the possible are?
