About The Archivio Videoludic of Bologna

The goal of the archive is to allow videogame scholars, researchers, and fans to access material spanning over sixty years of videogame history. The project benefits from its spacious location in the Renzo Renzi library, an ideal meeting place for both gamers and scholars. The Videogame Archive aims at becoming a starting point for the promotion of a deeper investigation of the videogame medium. The Archive regular activities include lectures and workshops, movie retrospectives, collaborations with high schools and with the University of Bologna, all of which create privileged partnerships that foster the development of a true center for videogame research and analysis. As of January 2017, the catalogue of the Videogame Archive lists more than 4,850 titles.
