History of Wargaming Project


The History of Wargaming Project aims to archive and publish wargaming books, rules and documents about wargaming. It has been widely referenced in the wargaming literature.

History

The project was inspired by the late Paddy Griffith, a professional military historian on the staff of the Department of War Studies, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst before becoming a full-time author and freelance historian and lecturer in the early 1990s. Paddy Griffith asked why the history of wargaming was poorly documented and why there was not a library of wargaming. The aim of the project is to document and equally as important, make the key aspects of the history of wargaming readily available to the public through its publications.

Scope

Covering hobby, serious and professional wargames, its scope includes:
The project has a large wargaming archive and the aim is to make this unpublished material available as rapidly as possible.
