Even though the year is far from over, it’s not too early to start thinking about nominations for the 2018 annual Minnesota History Awards, for projects completed during 2017, or the Lifetime Achievement Award, for individuals who have 25 years or more of contributing to the state's local history field.
Nominate projects for awards in the following categories: Behind the Scenes, Collections, Partnerships, Publications, Public Programs, and Preservation. For the Lifetime Achievement Award, nominate people who have demonstrated leadership within their organization, their community, and to Minnesota’s history community in the preservation and promotion of local and state history. Experience should total 25 years in Minnesota. Applications are due Feb. 2, 2018 and winners will be honored at the 2018 MALHM Conference, April 25-26, in Marshall, Minnesota. See our Awards page for more information about all categories and definitions, as well as examples of winners from past years to inspire you. Nominations should be complete but concise and use the Lifetime Achievement Awards or Minnesota History Awards packets. To fill in the form, use Adobe Acrobat as your default PDF viewer. The Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums created the awards in 2008 to honor the excellent work performed in Minnesota’s public history community. In addition to highlighting those who have achieved excellence, the program intends to use the example of winners to show the rest of our peers how outstanding project can be accomplished, with the goal of raising the quality of everyone’s work. Please contact Minnesota History Awards Chair Jill Wohnoutka at 320-235-1881 or by email if you have any questions. |
