During 2014, CyArk digitally preserved 18 sites including the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Harlem Fire Watchtower, the slave quarters and estate houses at Natchez National Historic Park, the New York State Pavilion, and the rock art of Gateway Canyons, Colorado, while completing the projects at Mount Rushmore and the Japanese American Confinement Sites at Manzanar, Topaz, and Tule Lake.
