The survey covers development materials, artwork, hardware, design documents, marketing assets, and company archives, as well as industry attitudes toward preservation. Results will inform discussions on how the UK can protect its video game heritage and identify at-risk material needing collaborative preservation. The museum, based in Sheffield since 2018, has hosted over 350,000 visitors and holds nearly 5,000 game-related objects. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
