the second annual Digital Archives Award by Digital Frontier Kyoto, representing
a consortium of the city and prefecture of Kyoto, Japan, and of businesses and
universities in Japan. The prestigious award, presented to a digital project
that exemplifies cutting-edge technology and rich content in preserving world
culture, went to the Library of Congress?s American Memory project last year."
