Founded in 2011 in Oakland, California, the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment, the MADE performed the first institutional preservation of an online game when it worked with F. Randall Farmer, Chip Morningstar, Fujitsu, and a group of volunteers to relaunch LucasFilm Games' Habitat. This work lead to collaboration with UC Berkeley to petition for a 1201 DMCA exemption for the preservation of MMO games. The source code to Habitat has since been release as open source software under the MIT license. The MADE continues to work on further digital preservation, focusing on source code and online games.
