Normally, you won’t find a dedicated section for out-of-print video game magazines and promotional items in a regular library. However, the Video Game History Foundation aims to change that from next week when they launch their virtual library. This non-profit organization has been gathering video game materials for quite some time now, and their public library will be open for use starting January 30.
Following many years of gathering, organizing, and digitizing historical video game materials, the Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) is now ready to open its virtual library doors to everyone, as announced in a statement.”
Some of the tantalizing glimpses provided by the organization include high-resolution scans of artwork from Final Fantasy 7 and over 1,500 video game magazines.
Patience often yields rewarding outcomes – mark your calendars for January 30th, 2025, when the Video Game History Foundation Digital Library will officially launch! We can’t wait to share more details with you soon!

The VGHF mentioned that their collection would house unique, previously unseen resources related to game development, and with hints of robust search capabilities, it could prove to be an indispensable tool for researchers studying video game history.
If you’re curious about what the Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) is up to and want to help them protect history, visit their official website for further information. Last year, they encountered some challenges when their request to the U.S. Copyright Office to permit libraries to share out-of-print video games with researchers online was turned down.
One of several conservation initiatives has emerged throughout the years, and among them, the VGHF is one notable instance. Another well-known effort in this field is GOG’s program designed to ensure that classic video games remain playable on contemporary and future gaming systems. It appears that Xbox and PlayStation have also established similar preservation programs for their respective game libraries.
