March 12, 2007 | All, Local History, News | Leave a Comment
The Center for Archival Collections is seeking nominations for the annual Local History Publication Award, to be presented each year in the Spring. Two separate divisions have been established for the annual contest. The first category for Independent Scholars includes all publications that were completed for non-academic purposes. The second division, the Academic Scholar category, includes works by academic historians. Each category carries a $300 cash award.
Eligible works must have been published in 2007 and address an historical topic within the nineteen county region of northwest Ohio. Works will be judged on literary merit, overall significance, and contribution to the understanding of the region’s history. Not eligible for consideration are textbooks, guidebooks, manuals, craft books, fiction, newspaper articles, and family histories composed principally of genealogical charts.
To submit a work, authors should send two copies to the Center for Archival Collections, 5th Floor, Jerome Library, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, postmarked by January 1, 2008. All works submitted become the property of the CAC. For further information, contact Ann Jenks, University Archivist, at the CAC +1-419-372-2411.
