Stanton-Horton Award for Excellence in National Park Service History

Description

The award recognizes excellence in National Park Service historical efforts that make the NPS a leader in promoting public understanding of and engagement with American history. Please share with us exemplary projects that encourage civic dialogue in all areas of public history. Eligible submissions include park-based interpretive work; regionally-oriented educational and preservation programs; National Register or NHL nominations, historic resource and special resource studies which have public outreach components, and national programs and projects designed to encourage public appreciation for the complexity and richness of the American past. The nominated project may have been undertaken by NPS employees entirely within the agency or in collaboration with students, contractors, volunteers, or cooperating institutions, and involve a single national park unit or the National Park Service system. Two letters of recommendation from individuals or groups familiar with the project but not associated with its planning or implementation are required. Please contact the committee members for mailing address and provide title(s) you will submit for consideration so the committee can verify that all materials have been received. Please visit the award's website for more information.
