This project aims to demonstrate and evaluate the emulation of obsolete operating systems and programs in a cloud-based environment to document, preserve, and exhibit digital cultural heritage. The challenge of preserving and accessing complex digital cultural heritage such as software is one that collecting institutions worldwide are facing. This project will address this challenge by recovering the history of Australian made videogames of the 1990s, preserving significant local digital game artefacts currently at risk, and investigating how these can be exhibited as playable software using the newest emulation techniques. The project expects to generate new knowledge needed by government, museums and industry to inform future strategy and infrastructure investment aimed at making a range of digital cultural heritage available to the public.

该项目旨在演示和评估在基于云的环境中模拟过时的操作系统和程序，以记录、保存和展示数字文化遗产。保存和获取复杂的数字文化遗产，如软件，是世界各地的收藏机构面临的挑战。该项目将通过恢复20世纪90年代澳大利亚制造的视频游戏的历史，保护目前处于危险之中的重要本地数字游戏文物，并调查如何使用最新的仿真技术将这些文物展示为可玩的软件来应对这一挑战。该项目预计将产生政府、博物馆和行业所需的新知识，为旨在向公众提供一系列数字文化遗产的未来战略和基础设施投资提供信息。
