In the frame of the Garrin project that will be further developed in my fellow colleague and conservator Ralph Michel’s presentation, I will explore a non-technical but nevertheless crucial aspect of this restoration: the collaboration with museums’ outsider communities that allowed us to successfully carry out our project. From searching forums to being officially invited to a discord server, in this lightning talk, I will address this journey, at first very intimidating, to seek collaboration from ambitious hobbyists, computer-fans, anonymous hardware tinkerer and arcade game communities. First to acknowledge the significant if not essential contribution of these folks-preservationists but also to enlightened that opening the gates of the museums to other communities is a game changer.
