2002 Wisconsin Governor's Archives Award



2002 GOVERNOR?S ARCHIVES AWARD ANNOUNCED

 The Wisconsin Historical Records Advisory Board (WHRAB) and the
Wisconsin Historical Society have announced that nominations are being
accepted for the 2002 Governor?s Archives Award.
 The award recognizes an individual, program or organization that
has made a significant contribution to preserving or increasing the
usefulness of Wisconsin?s original historical records in any format.
Educational or public history programs designed to encourage the use of
archival collections may also be nominated.  It will be presented at the
Wisconsin Historical Society?s annual meeting in Milwaukee in July.
 Last year, the first award was presented to the Monroe County Local
History Room for a project that arranged and indexed more than 80 years of
Monroe County Circuit and County Court cases, making these records
accessible in a searchable database.  This database is available to the
public at the LaCrosse Area Research Center.
 Several different kinds of work can qualify for the award.
Examples of eligible work include establishing a sound and active archival
program where none has previously existed; substantially increasing public
access and usefulness of an existing archival collection; establishing an
education or public history program designed to encourage the use of
archival collections; contributing financial or other resources for support
of an archival program; or any other major contribution to the
preservation, use or appreciation of Wisconsin?s archival heritage that
WHRAB feels worthy of recognizing through the Governor?s Archives Award.
 WHRAB and the Wisconsin Historical Society invite nominations for
the Governor?s Archives Award from all interested persons and
organizations. Additional information and a nomination form can be obtained
by calling (608) 264-6446 or by checking the WHRAB Web site at
