God save the Village Green.

The closest thing to a "Village Green Preservation Society" is the Open Spaces Society, which has this to say:

Town and village greens are the essence of rural England and Wales, where cricket is played in the lengthening shadows of a summer evening, and villagers dance round the maypole.
In fact they are much more than that, and very varied.
A green is any land on which a significant number of the inhabitants of any locality, or any neighbourhood within a locality, have indulged in lawful sports and pastimes, for 20 years, as of right.

To wrap this all up much more cleanly than I was expecting, Suggested Donation ("A blog about Museums, Archives, and Libraries: and the poor suffering lot who work in them.") points us to The Lost Format Preservation Society, which

catalogues the rapid obsolescence of information technology, although we wonder if this sentimental geek’s delight is any more than the conservative myth of a “simpler time.” But we miss our 5″ floppies, too, not to mention command line role playing games, keyboards that spring and click, and beta’s totally unfair loss in the video cassette wars.

Be seeing you.
