The Association recognizes a wide variety of distinguished historical work, which can take the form of an exceptional book in the field, distinguished teaching and mentoring in the classroom, and even on film. Awards and prizes honor work on a multitude of geographical regions, covering many different time periods, and using a wide array of methodologies and approaches. Since 1896 the Association has conferred over a thousand awards. The names, publications, and projects of those who received these awards are a catalogue of the best work produced by the historical profession.

The deadline to apply for the 2015 competition is May 15. The full list of awards and prizes is available on our website.
