The award of the Distinguished Service Award to the American Heritage Center would be a way of reminding all archival repositories that we can become better and that we can improve.

We will not rest on our laurels. We continue to plan and to identify projects and processes that help us lead our profession—currently, for example, we are being recognized for both our “mass digitization” of collection material and for our pragmatic and incremental but effective approach to “born digital” collections. Mass digitization refers to an approach to placing facsimiles of our primary source material online that, unlike at many archives, takes seriously our constituents’ request for more and more research material accessible 24/7 rather than lavishing scarce resources on single items sometimes referred to as “gems.” “Born digital” material is that which was created by computer and never transferred to paper; the quantity of such records in this day and age is such that we can no longer believe that creating printouts is a satisfactory method of preservation; instead, we must develop approaches to preserving and making accessible the computer files themselves. While many repositories are either counting on million-dollar system solutions on the one hand or are paralyzed into inaction Bandleader Hal Kemp received an unexpected response to hissaxophone play- on the other hand, we are among a handful of institutions ing.

A repository succeeded in our most significant goal, that of excellent without users is akin to that well-known tree falling in a service to our constituents. All four of the archivists who forest with nobody there to hear; without researchers a supported our nomination mentioned this, but Donna repository might as well not exist. Yet attracting patrons is McCrea, at the University of Montana, and a member of one thing; providing them with consistently excellent service SAA’s governing council, probably put it best: is something else again.
