World History
I received this e-mail today. I thought it would be of interest to the larger history blogging world.
It reads:
ABC-CLIO and the history section of the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) announce a call for submissions for the ABC-CLIO Online History Award. The award, which consists of a citation and $3,000 donated by ABC-CLIO, is given to encourage, recognize, and commend professional achievement in online historical reference and research librarianship.
The ABC-CLIO Online History Award is administered by the RUSA history section and is the first American Library Association (ALA) award of its kind to acknowledge the importance of Internet-based historical resources.
This biennial award will be given to a person or a group of people producing a freely available, sustainable online historical collection or collections; an online tool or tools tailored for the purpose of finding historical materials; or an online teaching aid or aids stimulating creative historical scholarship.
The deadline for submissions is December 15, 2006. Initiated in 2005, the award is offered every other year and will be presented at the 2007 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
