Introduction to the AASLH Awards Program - Live Webinar

Webinar Description

Since 1945, AASLH has given Leadership in History Awards to establish and encourage standards of excellence in the collection, preservation, and interpretation of state and local history in order to make the past more meaningful to all people. By publicly recognizing innovative history work, the Leadership in History Awards program uplifts great history organizations around the country as models and inspirations for others in the field. We offer awards for many different types of projects, including publications, exhibits, public programming, and more. Award winners come from all over the country, from organizations of all kinds, sizes, and budgets.

Our awards program, with the exception of the Publications category, is non-competitive, meaning nominations are not in competition with others for a finite amount of awards. We encourage nominations from small and all-volunteer organizations, and a national committee of awards representatives in most states are ready to assist with every step of the process.

If you're curious about our awards program, the work involved, how it differs from other organizations' awards, why awards matter, and how to get started, join this free informational webinar with AASLH's Senior Manager, Professional Development and Publications Aja Bain and the 2025 National Awards Committee Chair Jason Crabill of the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio. Applications for the 2025 awards season are due March 1, so now's the time to talk awards!
