How can we preserve pornography games amid sex panics and deplatforming?

Project PI Jean Ketterling participated in Videogame Preservation: Practices and Approaches Online Symposium, hosted by Digital Scholarship at Oxford and the Centre for Digital Scholarship and held online on the 12th March 2026.

Jean’s talk is about how we, as researchers, game preservationists, citizen archivists, and game developers, can ensure that pornographic videogames are preserved for research purposes and for their own sake, as important pieces of cultural heritage that record and represent human experience with sex and sexuality.
