[game_preservation] Preserving Virtual Worlds on DPC short list

[Henry Lowood]

Dear colleagues,

<forgive the mass mailing, but ...>

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has officially announced the 
projects which have made the short list for the DPC awards. The  
nominees were announced at the iPres conference earlier today.

I am pleased to pass on the news that Preserving Virtual Worlds, our 
project with the Univ. of Illinois, Univ. of Maryland, and Rochester 
Inst. of Technology has been put on the short list for the international 
Digital Preservation Award. This award is presented in London as part of 
the Institute of Conservation <http://www.icon.org.uk/> 's (ICon) 
Conservation Awards. <http://www.conservationawards.org.uk/>

The official news release is at 
http://www.dpconline.org/newsroom/latest-news/638-2010-digital-preservation-award-shortlists-press-release.

This was a great project -- we finished the final report just 
yesterday.   In addition to my role, the project was managed by Susan 
Rojo in the Humanities Resource Group (in the Stanford Libraries), with 
critical contributions from DLSS and the SDR group (also at Stanford).

Best,

Henry
