[SOA] FW: Leland Award

[Angela O'Neal]

Call for Nominations: 2007 Waldo Gifford Leland Award 

 

Have you read a great new book about archives? Have you come across an
exceptional finding aid for a newly-processed archival or manuscript
collection? Have you encountered a documentary publication that is head
and shoulders above the rest?

 

If you have, why don't you consider nominating it for the Waldo Gifford
Leland Award?

 

The Leland Award subcommittee of the Society of American Archivists
invites you to nominate a monograph, finding aid, or documentary
publication published in North America in 2007 for the Waldo Gifford
Leland Award.  (Please note: periodicals are not eligible.)  The prize
is awarded each year to encourage and reward "writing of superior
excellence and usefulness in the field of archival history, theory, and
practice."

 

Established in 1959, the award honors American archival pioneer Waldo
Gifford Leland, president of the Society of American Archivists in the
1940s and one of the driving forces behind the founding of the National
Archives.

 

More information and nomination forms can be found at
http://www.archivists.org/recognition/index.asp.  The deadline for
applications is February 28, 2008.

 

Please help us to recognize the best in our profession!

Hello - 

 

I'm hoping that I could ask you to post the attached announcement to the
members of the Society of Ohio Archivists? 

 

I'd be grateful, and want to welcome all of your members to consider
nominating any writing of superior excellence and usefulness in the
field of archival history, theory, and practice of the past year.

 

If you have any questions, please do ask - glad to help.

 

Thank you so much in advance,
