“…Meanwhile, new audiovisual formats emerge, and museum staff may have to reckon with an entirely new genre of content. The same arguments made for the systematic collecting of film may have to be made for video games, virtual reality, and the myriad other uncategorized digital creations of the modern age that defy standard concepts of art, science, or history, but which nevertheless represent their latest instances (Eklund et al, 2019;Guay-Bélanger, 2022;Olgado et al, 2019).…”

In 1935, Librarian John E. Abbott of the Museum of Modern Art wrote this of the contemporary status of film preservation: “the situation is as though there existed a great interest in painting on the part of the public, but that almost no painting were ever exhibited save those executed within the previous twelve months.” In the early twentieth century, film collections were not sought after by museums, because the relevance of film to museum mandates had not yet been defined. In this paper, we refer to the creation of some of the first museum film libraries and archives, in order to examine the effort of their establishment within a museum, and the philosophical challenges and appeals that must be addressed when these mediums meet, in the interplay between archival and museological theory. We shall briefly review the beginning of film museums, and then discuss where the nature and priorities of museums most affected these pioneering film libraries and archives. These influences manifest in the rationale of why films should be collected, in the details of what should be acquired, and in the practical and philosophical challenges that are not commonly found in other information institutions, but are characteristic of museum work.

“…Digital games are a central part of contemporary culture and society that pose specific problems for preservation. Their popularity and impact put into relief the numerous challenges of digital game preservation regarding for example collection, curation, documentation, and exhibition practices (MacDonough, Fraimow, Erdman, Gronsbell, & Titkemeyer, 2016;Olgado, 2019). In the Nordic region, digital games are played by a majority of the population (see for example Findahl, 2014;Kinnunen, Lilja, & Mäyrä, 2018) and are important cultural and economic commodities.…”
