Research

The National Videogame museum does not just focus on preserving and displaying videogames for everyone. We are also committed towards sharing our research – and making our resources and collections available for everyone to research as well.

Accessibility

The field of videogames is built by a range of perspectives – within and beyond museums and academia. We welcome everyone to get in touch for more information on items in our collection or on past and present exhibits, whether you are affiliated with a museum or university or an independent researcher/collector. 

Our Collections Access Policy is available upon request. 

Expertise

Our staff across the museum demonstrate extensive expertise in the field of videogames and the museum and curation practices linked to it. Please get in touch with us for more information and opportunities linked to talks, consultancy and interviews about our current displays as well as temporary exhibitions. 

Specialist Subject Network

You can join our active and growing Subject Specialist Network to learn about and share the latest news and research around videogame preservation and display. The Videogame Heritage Society (or VHS) welcomes private collections and public institutions and museums as well as university and independent researchers to share research.
