Fascinating winners in this year's Digital Archive Japan Award. There are several more traditional institutions in here, but also Hamster Corporation's Arcade Archives video game series! Their award focuses on the their weekly video series in which they invite representatives of game developers to show rare records from their corporate archives and discuss their significance. The award seems to focus on how they’ve raised public awareness of these archives. https://jpsearch.go.jp/en/daj-award-2026

Here's a very rare treat for #DigiPres - I came across the first CD-ROM cover disc of the Scandinavian computing magazine Komputer for alle...
And it turns out it's an attempt to allow people without internet in 1997 to experience what the Internet is like... By fully downloading about a hundred different sites, including every subpage and hosted file! It's a little 1997 web archive!
Here's a link to check it out for yourself: https://archive.org/details/kcd-1997-05 -

Hi format nerds! I'm getting interested in chemical formats encoding molecular structures. I looked at the CTFiles formats maintained by Biovia (https://discover.3ds.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/biovia_ctfileformats_2020.pdf).
The spec keeps mentioning "lines" / "blank lines", etc. But I couldn't find whether this should be CR, LF or CRLF. Does it implicitly mean that any of these is acceptable? Or did I miss something?

Hi #digipres folks!
I'm realizing that elaborating file format signatures can serve not only for identification but also for file carving (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_carving). As the purpose is not the same, the byte pattern will be different - file carvers will focus on header / footer. But still: has anyone tried to contribute to file carvers, based on file format research for format identification? Couldn't we put in common some of our work?

That's right! If you're in the Asia-Pacific timezone, @robinwright and I will be your co-hosts. If you're wondering what #DigiPres is all about, why not sign up and then tune in for an hour a day during #iPRES2026?
