I am always looking for old boardgames (and, to clarify: many 19th century boardgames were published just as a book; you had to construct your own components based on instructions in the book). I have managed to track down some, and received scans and/or photos from several libraries and museums (in five different countries; not counting the excellent online archive of scanned boardgames available from the National Library in Finland, since those were already available without me having to order anything), but I have a list of games I have not yet been able to locate (or games that I have not found images of all components yet; it is quite annoying to have the rulebook but not the game board!). Makes me sad that maybe some of those games are partially or completely lost.
Of course there must be many, many games I never even heard of. So... anything related to old boardgames is of interest. Even if there are boring roll-and-move games, or games I am not interested in like chess or checkers, I still like the idea of trying to get as much game history preserved and available online as possible.
