[SOA] call for nominations: OHRAB Institutional Achievement Award (due 10/14)

[Carleton, Janet]

Celebrate Archives Month By Honoring the Accomplishments of an Ohio Archival Institution!

The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board Achievement Award recognizes significant accomplishments in preserving and improving access to historical records in any format by an Ohio archival institution. 

All Ohio institutions responsible for archival records that provide public access to at least a portion of their collections are eligible. Eligible accomplishments include recent special projects or on-going programs that: 
- build significant collections 
- implement successful preservation strategies 
- enhance access to archives 
- develop effective digitization programs 

Preference will be given to projects or programs that can be adapted for use by other institutions. 

Because the award recognizes institutional achievements, individuals are not eligible. Departments employing members of OHRAB are not eligible, but other departments in their institutions are eligible. 

Nominating letters should be no longer than two pages, 12-pt, single spaced, describing the institution's program/project along with its goals, accomplishments, and significance. Each must include the nominee's institutional name along with a contact person's name, mailing address, phone, email address. 

Send nominations via email or U.S. mail to: 
Janet Carleton

Nominations must be received by October 14, 2011. 

Self-nominations are encouraged. Winner(s) will be selected by OHRAB at its October 28 meeting. 

Winners of the 2010 Award were Cleveland State University's Michael Schwartz Library Special Collections Department and Montgomery County Records Center and Archives.
