Protecting Our Legacy: Why This New PhD is the First Step Toward a National Collection for Scottish Games

I am delighted to welcome the announcement of a fully funded PhD research studentship, which is now open for applications. Developing a Framework for a National Collection of Scottish Games Heritage is a collaboration between Abertay University, the University of Glasgow, and National Museums Scotland (NMS). This is a significant milestone in our journey to treat games as a vital part of Scotland’s cultural identity and heritage.

For years, I have been advocating for a more concerted effort to capture and curate our industry’s history. From the bedroom-coding era to the high-end global productions of today, the Scottish story is unique. Yet, currently, out of 12 million artefacts in the National Museums Scotland collection, fewer than 200 relate to our Scottish games heritage. This is a gap we have to do far more to address.

A Strategic Mandate for Preservation

This studentship is not just an academic exercise; it is a strategic necessity. As I have highlighted through the More Than Games philosophy, games are the golden thread of the modern economy, but they are also a fragile cultural asset. With 87% of games from the 1980s and 1990s currently out of print, we are at risk of losing the very foundations of our success and misunderstanding our own contribution to Scotland’s digital legacy.

At SGN, we have worked with many of the organisations supporting this appointment, as well as others across Scotland’s cultural and heritage ecosystem. I am also a trustee of the National Videogame Museum. So a fully-funded and supported position exploring the issues around game preservation, cultural impact, and legacy are very close to my heart.

About the Studentship

The 3.5-year studentship, funded by the Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities (SGSAH), offers a tax-free stipend of £21,805 per annum and includes a six-month placement with National Museums Scotland in Edinburgh. This hands-on experience is vital; it ensures the research is grounded in the reality of museum curation while benefiting from the world-leading expertise of the Abertay Game Lab and the UofG Games and Gaming Lab.

The project will ask fundamental questions: What does it mean to collect a video game? How do we preserve code, documentation, and the living histories of developers? By answering these, the successful candidate will help us build a strategy that is flexible enough to keep pace with a rapidly changing industry.

An Open Call to Pioneers

I encourage any independent, driven researchers with a passion for gaming history to apply. This is a chance to be at the forefront of a movement that will define how our industry is viewed by the public and by future governments.

As we move toward the implementation of a national strategy for games, projects like this prove that Scotland is leading the way in professionalising the sector. I will continue to work alongside our academic and heritage partners to ensure that the work started here is just the beginning of a larger, national commitment to our digital legacy.

Application Details:

• Closing Date: 11 May 2026
• Stipend: £21,805 (Tax-free)
• Start Date: October 2026
• Apply here: Abertay University Jobs Page

Queries: Contact Dr Hailey Austin and/or Prof Robin Sloan.

John Macmillan Brown (5 May 1845 – 18 January 1935) was a #Scottish-#NewZealand academic, administrator and promoter of #educationForWomen. Brown was born in Irvine, the sixth child of Ann Brown and her husband, James Brown, a sea captain. John was raised in a family that placed high value on education—for both sexes. He attended #IrvineAcademy, then #UniversityOfEdinburgh and #UniversityOfGlasgow.

The 1960s were a crazy time. Who thought it was a good idea who build a building whose two halves had different numbers of floors. And how long did they spend giggling on the floor before taking another hit of the bong?

Hi all, please could you share this PhD studentship offer with anyone relevant?
From my colleague Ana Gonzalez-Rueda (lecturer at the #UniversityOfGlasgow):

"My new lab at the University of Glasgow has a fully-funded* PhD position open for applications!! The project will explore how neuroinflammation causes cognitive deficits such as “brain fog” by using a combination of behavioural assays, high-density electrophysiology and targeted interventions in a neuroinflammatory mouse model.
Link for more info
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions: [email protected]

Yoo-hoo we received our new #SpikeGadgets order!!
It has all we need to do 128ch and 32ch wired or wireless recordings!!

For context this is in my new lab at the #UniversityOfGlasgow (apparently we might be the only ones in the UK to use SpikeGadgets ?!?!) with Roddy Grieves as PI! Our lab name is #NeuroeSC for #Neuroethology and #SpatialCognition 😁

“Portico, University of Glasgow” — Among the stout column sand arches of a portico at the University of Glasgow.

This day started with a vague plan to visit the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and perhaps go look for some of the famous Glasgow Street Art nearby. Some times we have very clear plans and sometimes we just wing it. This was one of the latter times. We walked to the museum from downtown Glasgow, and after our visit there decided to check out the nearby campus of the University of Glasgow, where I made this photograph…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/07/20/portico-univeristy-of-glasgow/

"From my first 3 months in the post, I’ve found that it’s a fascinating and immersive field. In a similar way to open research, research integrity is still a relatively new and developing area. A central part of the team’s research integrity work is to tailor policy requirements for researchers and facilitate responsible research practice."

Advice & motivational soundbites, please, for Year 1 undergraduate son who's been SO looking forward to today, 1st day at #UniversityOfGlasgow but de-flated by #IndustrialAction.

Disclaimer: I'm a UK academic who fully supports #UCURising and a parent of the #Covid generation. A tough identity to reconcile. Trying to turn industrial dispute into a sociological learning opportunity but my son is not quite on the same wavelength!
