Judy Malloy's Traversal of Uncle Roger
This traversal of Judy Malloy, conducted by Dene Grigar and Stuart Moulthrop, took place on Friday, September 6, 2013 at Malloy's office at Princeton University, where she serves on faculty. We originally planned only to use Version 2 of the work––that is, the one sold commercially on floppy disk and requiring a vintage computer. However, taking Grigar's Apple IIe from her lab in Vancouver to Malloy's office was not possible due to cost of shipping. Malloy, however, had a colleague who gladly let us borrow his own. Unfortunately, halfway through the traversal, it broke, and we were relegated to using the web version of Uncle Roger on Malloy's office Dell computer. The experience turned out to be a fortuitous because traversing the work in both formats allowed us to experience many of the deviations between the second and third versions and strengthened our argument for the "collection" method of digital preservation.
Assisting with the traversal and interview was Aaron Wintersong, Pathfinders' videographer, whom we flew with us to New Jersey.
