The Archivist Award of Excellence was established in 1989 by the California

State Archives.
The award recognizes individuals who have done exceptional work in the
archival or records management field. Topics as diverse as developing a
major outreach program, conducting conservation projects, establishing a
model program, overcoming obstacles in program development, providing
significant financial support, or recruiting community support for an
