European Directory of Creative Computing Preservation Initiatives
Background
As part of the COST GRADE project we are developing an European Directory of Creative Computing Preservation Initiatives. We hope that this list will help bring greater visibility to the many passionate initiatives working across Europe towards safeguarding born-digital heritage. Not only to preserve hardware and software but also to record the histories of the people that shaped them and the communities they built together.
We use the term creative computing (more information here) to bring together a wide range of practices and communities related to computer art, the demoscene, digital privacy, electronic music, hacking, retrogaming, right to repair and video games.
Submissions
We are looking for initiatives located in Europe*, such as museums, exhibitions, dedicated non-profit organizations, restoration projects, digital archives and more. To make a submission, please provide the following publicly available information:
- The full name of the initiative.
- The country of origin of the initiative.
- The city/address where the initiative is located (if possible).
- A link to the initiative’s website or social media account.
*For the purpose of this directory, we are interested in all European countries, as well as COST Full Member countries.
