[SOA] OHRAB Archives Institutional Achievement Award - call for nominations

[Jill Tatem]

Greetings,

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:
Galen Wilson
Senior Records Analyst, Great Lakes Region
National Archives and Records Administration
3150 Springboro Road
Dayton, OH 45439

Nominations must be received by October 1, 2012.

Self-nominations are encouraged. Winner(s) will be announced by OHRAB
at its October 26 meeting.

Winners of the 2011 Award were Licking County Records & Archives
Department and the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.
