THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
ANNOUNCES
The Albert J. Beveridge Award
FOR 2010
To promote and honor outstanding historical writing, the American Historical Association offers each year the Albert J. Beveridge Award in American History. The award is given for a distinguished book in English on the history of the United States, Latin America, or Canada, from 1492 to the present.
Books that employ new methodological or conceptual tools or that constitute significant reexaminations of important interpretive problems will be given preference. Literary merit is also an important criterion.
Biographies, monographs, and works of synthesis and interpretation are eligible; translations, anthologies, and collections of documents are not. Books published after May 1, 2009, and before April 30, 2010, are eligible for the 2010 award.
Entries in the competition -- limited to five titles from any one publisher -- must be submitted by sending a copy to EACH member of the committee:
Contact information for judges will be posted by March 30
Please Note: The deadline for submission of entries is May 15, 2010.
A separate letter listing each entry should also be sent to the members of the committee so that they can verify the arrival of all volumes.
IMPORTANT! EACH ENTRY MUST BE CLEARLY LABELED "Beveridge AWARD ENTRY."
