Yes indeed, Thanks to Henry and Henrik's LoC initiative,
Brewster and the Internet Archive, many others, and two years of work by
Al Lundell and myself digitizing and categorizing, you will find 100+
videos that will be very familiar to a lot of you here on this group.
Simply go to
www.archive.org
and search on "Bruce Damer" or try this direct link at:
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=%22Bruce%20Damer%22
to find these new additions.
We may come up with a better way of categorizing these in the future
(rather than just by my name). Please note that this is part of a much
larger effort in support of the Library of Congress supported project
with Stanford and others. Its all contained under the moniker Archiving
Virtual Worlds and is available at:

This "Damer Archive" is really "your archive" as many
of you have contributed work or are personally featured here, such as in
rare video of sessions back at at Earth to Avatars '96 and
97-98-99-00-01-etc. I have another 35 or so pieces to edit with Al some
time this fall which will really fill this out further. By the way, our
video of the original 1974 Maze War (the first first person shooter)
running on the restored Imlac PDS-1 is also there, courtesy of the
related Digibarn Computer Museum. Also catch the 1962 Spacewar! on the
PDP-1 (arguably the first shared digital, graphical space) courtesy of
the Computer History Museum. If you want something included in this
effort, please let me know and send it on over to me and Al
electronically or on old media for us to digitize.
And team, I would really appreciate your help in filling in the metadata
for some of these entries given that I put only basic info there. I am
going to get set up with account/edit features and get back to you on how
we might coordinate that.
