2003 MERLE CURTI AWARD 

Home

Beginning in 2003, the Merle Curti Award will be given annually for the best book in social, intellectual, and/or cultural history.  The committee may decide to award to two books, one in social and/or cultural history and one in intellectual and/or cultural history.

Each entry must be published during the period 1 January 2002 through 31 December 2002. One copy of each entry must be received by each committee member by 1 October 2002.  Final page proofs may be used for books to be published after 1 October and before 1 January 2003. If a final page proof is submitted, a bound copy of the entry must be received no later than 7 January 2003. No late submissions will be accepted.

The author of the winning book will receive $2,000 (or $1,000 should two books be selected), a certificate and a medal. The publisher(s) of the book(s) will be honored with a certificate of merit. The award will be presented at the 2003 Annual Meeting of the OAH in Memphis, Tennessee, 3-6 April. One copy of each entry, clearly labeled "2003 Merle Curti Award Entry," must be mailed directly to:
