[SOA] Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board Achievement Award

[Jill Tatem]

Greetings,

The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board invites you to celebrate  
Archives Month by honoring the accomplishments of an Ohio archival  
institution.

The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board (OHRAB) 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, 12pt, single  
spaced, describing the institution’s program/project along with its  
goals, accomplishments and significance. Each nomination must include  
the nominee’s institutional name along with a contact person’s name,  
mailing address, phone number, and email address.
