CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR AWARDS
The Society for History in the Federal Government awards two prizes each
year for outstanding scholarship in a published article or essay related to
the history of the federal government. We are inviting submissions for the
2010 prizes, for articles or essays published during calendar year 2009.
(The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2009.)
1. The James Madison This annual award is given for excellence in
an article or essay that deals with any aspect of the federal government’s
history.
2. The Charles Thomson Prize is awarded for the best article or
essay on a topic in federal history. The nominated article or essay must
have been prepared by a federal historian or for a federal history program,
including history offices in the federal agencies and history-related
programs in other federal entities.
An entry for either prize should consist of a copy of the published article
and a letter indicating the significance and merits of the article (a cover
letter from the journal’s editor is preferred, although a letter from the
author is acceptable). For articles published late in the year, the
Committee will accept photocopies of the galleys in lieu of the final
published article. A copy of the submission should be sent separately to
each of three members of the Prize Committee:
1. Larry DeWitt, Social Security Administration Historian’s Office,
Rm. 1532 OPS, Baltimore, MD. 21235. (email: larry.dewitt@ssa.gov)
2. Michele Lyons, 875 Hunting Lake Drive, Huntingtown, MD 20639
(e-mail: lyonsm@mail.nih.gov)
3. Darrell Lemke, 9207 Chanute Drive, Bethesda, MD, 20814 (email:
lemke trautman@rcn.com)
The Madison Prize commemorates the nation’s fourth President and the
principal author of The Federalist Papers. The Thomson prize commemorates
the nation’s first federal archivist. Both prizes are awarded at the
Society’s annual conference in February.
