This award recognizes and publicizes excellence by members of the public, researchers, archivists, institutions, organizations, or agencies for work related to archives.

• Exhibit or public event
• Milestone projects (motion picture film preservation, etc.)
• Innovative projects (something new and trailblazing)

The ASHRAB solicits and encourages submittals of award nominations for significant projects that have been accomplished. Individuals, institutions (libraries, historical societies, museums), agencies (local, state, federal), and organizations (Red Cross, Rotary, business groups) are encouraged to submit nominations to the State Archivist by email or mail, describing and documenting the individual’s or group’s significant contribution. No self-nominations will be accepted. To make a nomination, please send a one to two-page written nomination to the State Archivist by Oct. 16.
