This award recognizes a volunteer in an Ohio archive who best exemplifies the dedication and hard work volunteers-our citizen archivists-contribute to Ohio's archives each day. All Ohio institutions responsible for archival records that provide free public access to at least a portion of their collections are 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 accomplishments and dedication of the volunteer. Include the nominee's name along with a contact person's name, mailing and email addresses, and phone number.
