Outside of the Folder, the Box, the Archive

In 2019, I was invited by editor Laine Nooney to write a piece for the inaugural issue of ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories alongside many scholars who have meant a lot to me over the years, including Soraya Murray, Jodi Byrd, TreaAndrea M. Russworm, and many others.

In this article I write about the process of archival discovery, and how much it moved me, when I first visited the Dani Bunten Berry Papers, the only archive that I currently know of that holds the papers and documents of a trans game designer.

I’m including a PDF version of the article below, and you can also read the essay for free on the ROMchip website here: https://romchip.org/index.php/romchip-journal/article/view/76
