[SOA] REMINDER FOR C.F.W COKER AWARD 2022 NOMINATIONS!

[Madison, Katherine]

Dear colleagues,

Remember to submit your nominations for the C.F.W. Coker Award by Monday, February 28.

The C.F.W. Coker Award is awarded each year to an individual or group who have performed outstanding and innovative archival descriptive work.  This descriptive work can take many forms, including:

  *   Finding aids: including, among others, multi-institutional guides, record surveys, repository guides, special subject lists, finding aids to individual collections or records groups, and narrative descriptions of holdings.
  *   Finding aid systems: including, among others, manual or automatic indexing systems, computer databases, or current awareness systems for notifying users of holdings.
  *   Descriptive tools that enable archivists to produce more effective finding aids: including, among others, subject thesauri, authority files, data element dictionaries, manuals establishing descriptive standards, and such reference works as atlases and administrative histories.
  *   Projects that involve innovative developments in archival description: including, among others, cooperative ventures that result in the exchange of finding aid information among repositories, efforts at building national information systems, and survey projects.

If you are aware of innovative work in any of these areas, please consider submitting a nomination (self-nominations are welcome!) via our nomination form<https://app.smarterselect.com/programs/45800-Society-Of-American-Archivists>. Individuals who submitted nominations last year for work completed in 2021 that did not receive the 2021 Coker award are encouraged to re-nominate!
