British Library to add game masterpiece collection to call on manufacturers to participate

Local network (compiling/applies) according to overseas media, a spokesman for the British Library said to the media that they have begun to collect the country's game masterpieces and industrial history files as part of the collection.　　The library's digital protection expert, Paul Wheatley, says the UK has created a thousands game in just 30 years, but the protection of cultural heritage in this area is worrying. "The players in the game publishing industry should realize that it's very valuable to protect the raw materials and materials for each important piece of work that they develop, and most of them think I'm joking or scaring them with ghost stories," he said.　　"Paul Wheatley says the gathering needs strong support from developers, preferably within a similar mechanism, and then regularly submits to the National Library The historical files and work materials that the company backs up."　　Previously, in September 2008, the National Media Museum in Bradford, England, was the first to establish a "National Games Archive", with the choice of a partner at Nottingham Trent University. "At least we can do better than the national game archives, because we have dedicated digital protection measures and personnel, I hope in the future and the vast number of manufacturers to cooperate in this."　　Paul Wheatley said. The British gaming industry generally believes that there should be a dedicated body responsible for collecting, collating and preserving existing industrial history and classic masterpieces. British Interactive entertainment director Michael Rawlinson in an interview that the collection of archives allows people to review the history of the industry, understand the status quo, inherited what and what is lost.　　The establishment of similar mechanisms and institutions is absolutely correct and necessary. The British Library has also been translated into the British Library or the National Library, one of the largest academic libraries in the world, in London and West Yorkshire.
