The Ohio Historical Society Wants to Hear From You
The Ohio Historical Society is now seeking nominations for the third annual Edward J. Tiffin Award in recognition of a person or family who has made extraordinary contributions to the field of history in Ohio.
The Tiffin Award, named in honor of Ohio’s first Governor Edward J. Tiffin, is the Ohio Historical Society’s highest honor for extraordinary contributions to Ohio history, national history, or history in general.
Criteria for Selection:
Nominees will be considered who have made extraordinary contributions to history. The contribution may be to history in general, national history and/or to Ohio history. Work in all of the disciplines covered by the scope of the Ohio Historical Society will be considered; that is, history, natural history, archaeology, preservation of artifacts or property, etc. The selection committee is looking for people who have contributed to the field of history, as opposed to being famous.
Eligibility:
Recipients may be individuals or families, living or deceased. Contributions to history will be defined broadly and could include any of the disciplines comprising the field of history and other related fields of endeavor.
Process:
The Nominating material should include the name of the nominee(s), a brief rationale for nominating the person that describes the contribution that has been made to the field of history, and the name and contact information of the person making the nomination. Nomination material may be informal. There is no nominating form.
Nominations may be made by submitting the person’s/family’s information to the address or e-mail given below. Nominations should be received by March 23, 2007. The award winner will be announced at a future date in late 2007.
