Digital Preservation Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Digital Preservation Award is an international award sponsored by the Digital Preservation Coalition which 'recognises the many new initiatives being undertaken in the challenging field of digital preservation'.[1] It was inaugurated in 2004 and is presented as part of the Conservation Awards, which are held every two years. The prize includes a trophy and a cheque for £5,000. The 2004 Awards took place at the British Library, with subsequent ceremonies being hosted by the British Museum. To date, the award has been presented on each occasion by Loyd Grossman.
