Ashley Maynor received the award for her essay "All the World’s Memory: Implications for the Internet as Archive and Portal for Our Cultural Heritage." The award committee was impressed by the range of the paper, its careful and comprehensive coverage and documentation of its sources and the masterly way in which it weaves together descriptions of projects as diverse as Otlet’s Encyclopædia microphotica mundaneum, Resnais’ "Toute la mémoire du monde," Bush’s Memex and LC’s American memory project. The paper delineates a strong and continuing urge to grapple with the many problems of preserving the human record using all available technologies.
