John Ferry Award 2009 - Call for nominations- reminder!

The History Council of New South Wales invites nominations for the John Ferry Award for 2009. The award honours the memory of John Ferry (1949-2004), an exemplary teacher and community historian who played a major role in practising and encouraging quality local studies during his career as a school-teacher, and then as lecturer and senior lecturer at the Armidale College of Advanced Education and University of New England.

The purpose of this award is to recognise outstanding New South Wales local and community histories. The winning entry will be a local or community history that demonstrates excellence in addressing its subject, proficiency in the use of original materials and clarity of exposition. The winner will receive a certificate and a cash prize of $500.00. The award will subsequently be announced in History Magazine, which will publish the citation. The Council, in conjunction with the Royal Australian Historical Society, will encourage publication of the winning entry.

Entries close: 30 June 2009
