German Games Archive, Nuremberg Municipal Museums
Nürnberg, Germany

The German Games Archive is a research and documentation resource that conserves a unique collection of more than 30,000 parlor games from 1945 to today. It continues to grow steadily, and it and its extensive specialized library have come to be the "memory of the games industry". Above and beyond its core tasks in documentation, the Archive also fosters play and games for both research and social uses. Game events, educational programs, training programs, viewing collections and exhibitions reflect its active advocacy of games and play as a cultural asset. Organized conferences and scholarly cooperation with institutions of higher learning have established the Games Archive as a knowledgeable networking partner in all things relating to games.
The German Games Archive is part of the network of the Nuremberg Municipal Museums, which includes the following institutions: Albrecht Dürer's House, Museum Tucher Mansion and Hirsvogel Hall, City Museum at Fembo House, Art Collections, Toy Museum, Museum for Industrial Culture, Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds, Memorium Nuremberg Trials, World War II Art Bunker and Medieval Dungeons.
