Video Game History Foundation releases trove of game dev documents, magazines, and more
VGHF releases a searchable archive of game dev documents and magazines.

The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) has launched a free digital archive containing a wealth of gaming development and promotional documents from past decades. This includes over 1,500 issues and press documents from notable publications like Electronic Gaming Monthly and GamePro, alongside never-before-seen materials from companies such as Cyan and Origin Systems.
The goal of this archive is to support academic researchers, bloggers, and other content creators in accessing primary sources for covering video game history. In addition to retro gaming community contributions, the VGHF provides high-quality original scans and has developed a custom OCR to interpret low-contrast pages more effectively.
Unfortunately, despite its extensive offerings, the archive doesn't host playable games due to legal challenges posed by the U.S. Copyright Office and the Entertainment Software Association. With substantial obstacles to providing remote game access, the Foundation emphasizes the need for continued expansion of their database and relies on donations to carry forward their mission.
