  2. Preserving Virtual Worlds • Multiyear initiative investigating the preservation of computer games & interactive fiction • Goal: To help develop mechanisms and methods for preserving digital games and interactive fiction • Methods: Case studies of individual games, experimental testing • Partners • Graduate School of Library & Information Science University of Illinois • Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities University of Maryland • College of Computing & Information Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology • Stanford University Libraries Stanford University

  3. Preserving Virtual Worlds You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
