SOA announces Merit Awards



NOVEMBER 2000 - SOA announces Merit Awards.

The Society of Ohio Archivists announced three Merit Awards at the
MAC/MARAC Fall Meeting reception on the evening of Oct 20, 2000.  The
deserving recipients were:  Martin Hauserman, Madeline "Mitch" Helms, and
Diana Marchese (see below for details).

SOA awards its Merit Award to individuals who have by excellence in deeds,
actions, or initiatives improved the state of archives in Ohio over the
past year.  A list of recipients from previous years may be found on the
SOA website at <http://www.ohiojunction.net/soa/merit.html>.

MARTIN HAUSERMAN
In recognition of his dedication and service as Archivist of the Cleveland
City Council, SOA takes great pleasure in awarding Martin Hauserman its
Merit Award. Martin worked tirelessly to save, preserve, and make available
a rich collection of architectural records and photographs documenting the
history of the city of Cleveland. His efforts to preserve this historically
valuable record included imaginative publicity and outreach to increase
awareness and concern for Cleveland's heritage. Martin recruited
knowledgeable volunteers to identify, conserve, and use these records.
Martin, known as "the man who saved Cleveland history", is very deserving
of SOA's Merit Award. SOA applauds Martin Hauserman for his efforts on
behalf of Ohio's archival community.

MADELINE "MITCH" HELMS
In recognition of her dedication and service to the Society of Ohio
Archivists in the production of the Ohio Archivist, SOA takes great
pleasure in awarding Mitch Helms its Merit Award. Mitch's expertise and
creativity in the field of publishing, design, and editing has transformed
the Ohio Archivist into an outstanding publication. Mitch demonstrates
commitment to the archival community in Ohio through her membership in SOA
and in her service to the membership through the production of our
membership directory and the countless ways in which she assists SOA
Council and members. It is with great appreciation that SOA presents this
Merit Award to Mitch Helms on behalf of Ohio's archival community.

DIANA MARCHESE
In recognition of her continuing interest and enthusiasm in promoting
Archives Week in Ohio, SOA takes great pleasure in awarding Diana Marchese
its Merit Award.  As Trumbull County Recorder, Diana has been tireless in
her efforts to promote and celebrate Archives Week in Ohio through special
events in her county. Diana has shown extraordinary support for Archives
Week in her capacity as a public official. SOA applauds Diana Marchese for
her efforts on behalf of Ohio's archival community.
