IAM Library – Arcade/Videogame Exhibition and Library Center Expansion

In short, let's grow the (physical) International Arcade Museum Library into a full museum.

As many of you know, and a few of you don't, the 501(c)3 non-profit International Arcade Museum Library was legally created on 09/09/09 as way to support the preservation of arcade and video game history, and opened its doors in 2010. It has a full board of directors and board of advisors (both groups unpaid).


We have raised over $35,000 to date for the Library, which currently has two chief goals:

- To support a major exhibition to be held in Southern California, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and/or Chicago

- To finance a fully interactive museum and library facility to replace our small library and exhibit center located in Pasadena, California.

Long term, a full 'done right' arcade and video game museum could easily be a multi-million dollar project. Let's build it in progressive steps. It begins with a foundation of moral and financial support from the collector community, and then follows with the support of the public at large, local communities, government, and business. The library was the first step in that direction, and our efforts are beginning to bear fruit. World leading archives and collections of arcade and video game history have been lined up. The next step can be a major exhibition and/or a transitional facility.


Special thanks to all the donors already


We ask for your support to make this dream a reality. The world's ready for it now.
