According to a survey of the Asahi and Yomiuri newspapers, the term "digital archive" first appeared in a newspaper article in the Yomiuri on March 11, 1996, in an article titled "International Red Cross Initiative for Cultural Properties Roundtable Meeting: Digital Preservation Techniques in the Spotlight," which was preceded by an article in the Yomiuri on April 10, 1996, titled "Digital Archive Promotion Council Launched: Preserving Cultural Heritage with Digital Images. After that, the number of articles remained at more than 20 every year from 2001 to 2005, then stagnated, and increased again after 2015, with more than 70 articles published annually since 2018. This paper reports the results of analyzing the treatment of newspaper articles in the digital archive.

新聞記事に見るデジタルアーカイブ：朝日新聞、読売新聞の記事件数変遷

Translated description

朝日、読売両全国紙を調査したところ、デジタルアーカイブということばの新聞記事での初出は1996年3月11日の読売の記事「文化財の国際赤十字構想座談会注目のデジタル保存術」で、同年4月10日の読売の記事「デジタルアーカイブ推進協議会が発足文化遺産をデジタル映像で保存・活用」に先立つ。その後記事数は2001年から2005年まで毎年20数件で推移したが、その後停滞、2015年以降再び増加して2018年以降は年70件以上掲載されている。デジタルアーカイブの新聞記事の扱いを分析した結果を報告する。
