The Museum of Role Playing Games

[athene]

For my Survey of Digitization class, we have to blog once a week about an online digital collection. When lordaerith was doing his interests collage I noticed an image for the "Museum of Role Playing Games." Upon checking it out, I realized that it was an online digital collection. I'm not allowed to post a link to the blog, so I decided to re-post it

as digital archives go, the museum of rpgs is really terrible, but it's fascinating that someone took the time to "catalog" some of the early works of the genre.

hey, the prof never said it had to be a good digital archive. ;)

Ironically enough, I know that a lot of Wizards of the Coast books have Library of Congress callnumber designations because my undergraduate college library petitioned for them. The library required them to have such designators before being put in the collection, and they were in the collection due to the fact that the local gaming club wanted to put them on a closed circulation system. I remember seeing a Vampire book come though my preservation lab and doing a double-take...
