NEHGS Technology Excellence Award Winners 
The New England Historic Genealogical Society, in an effort to encourage and foster the development of rigorous genealogical research techniques in computerized or electronic formats, created the NEHGS Technology Excellence Award in 2000. The award is presented to projects that demonstrate or enable the highest standards of genealogical research in electronic form, and do so in an innovative and replicable manner. The award is intended to recognize appropriate use of technology to achieve genealogical results; eligible projects must therefore present a worthwhile genealogical result obtained through technological tools. This award is granted annually during the GENTECH Conference for Genealogy and Technology.
