Within our association, we've been working for 11 years to popularize and preserve both local and global game history. We believe that video games are cultural heritage on the same level as film, literature, or visual arts – and that they deserve the same care. Our activities are principally nonprofit, and that's why in the long run, we're relying on the activities of volunteers, who contribute to the group's activities in their free time.
And now's the time when you can join in too!

Do I have to be from Prague?
If you are from Prague or closeby, it's a benefit – you can meet with us regularly and take part in work in the physical archive. However, it's not a necessity. We have members who cooperate remotely, so you can participate from anywhere.

Do I need to be able to speak Czech?
Although most of the materials we work with are in the Czech and Slovak languages, we welcome and accomodate members who speak with us in English. There is plenty of technical work to go around, as well as opportunities in collaboration with international organizations.

Do I need to have technical knowledge or knowledge of game history?
Not at all! All you need is the will to try new things and take part. Anybody can help out - a student, an IT person, a historian, a graphics designer, an accountant... we can find a spot for everybody.

How can I get involved?
Members help us with a wide range of things, such as inventarization and maintenance of the collection, digitalization of game materials, software development, repairs of historical hardware, interview transcriptions, translations of our materials, they help us with PR, communications, or administration.
But that's far from everything - we are also open to your ideas and what you would specifically enjoy.

What's in it for me?

• The opportunity to put your name under archival projects and other activities of the association
• New experiences and skills
• New contacts, friends and a community of people who enjoy what you do
