The deadline for submissions of student papers for the Pease award is May 31. The prize is a certificate and cash prize of $100. The winning manuscript will be published in The American Archivist.

The Theodore Calvin Pease Award was created in 1987 to recognizes superior writing achievement by students of archival administration. Entries are judged on innovation, scholarship, pertinence, and clarity of writing. Papers examining major trends and issues in archival administration are preferred. The award honors Theodore Calvin Pease, the first editor of The American Archivist.

The award is described more fully at http://www.archivists.org/governance/handbook/section12-pease.asp Eligible entries are written by students enrolled in archival studies classes at either the master’s or doctoral level. A faculty member or instructor associated with the archival studies program must submit the entry to verify that the student paper was written within the context of an archival studies program. A faculty member or instructor in an archival studies program may submit more than one entry.

Entries should be unpublished manuscripts of 5,000–8,000 words, must include an abstract,and should conform to the stylistic guidelines described in the editorial policy of the American Archivist. Submit only the title with the paper. The name of the author, the program, or the faculty member or instructor must not appear on the manuscript. This information is submitted with the nomination form. The submissions will be judged anonymously by the Pease award committee composed of Mary Jo Pugh, editor of the American Archivist, chair, Katherine Salzman, Co-Chair, Graduate Education Committee, and Chris Prom.

We look forward to many submissions

Editor, American Archivist
