Interview with Stella Wisdom, Digital Curator at the British Library
The British Library's engagement with video games and emerging digital formats traces back to a 2012 preservation symposium, where digital curator Stella Wisdom and colleagues conceived the Off the Map student game-making competition.
- The British Library's games focus originated at a 2012 preservation symposium, leading to the Off the Map student game-making competition, which ran for five years using the Library's digitized maps, texts, and illustrations.
- The first Off the Map winner, Pudding Lane Productions from De Montfort University, built explorable streets from seventeenth-century London views, and press coverage including BBC Click prompted senior management to formally expand the Library's focus on games and emerging formats.
- The Library had not previously collected games, so the initiative marked a significant shift in its collecting and programming priorities.
