New Author AwardThe New Author Award was instituted in 1993 to recognize superior writing by previously unpublished archivists, and may be awarded to practicing archivists who have not had article-length writings published in professional journals or to students in an archival education program. The New Author Award is presented in odd-numbered years for articles appearing in a two-year (four issue) cycle of Archival Issues. In 1995 the prize amount was generously increased by Council to $250 per award as a means of further encouraging new research and writing on archival topics.
