Would your society like to honor a genealogist whose exemplary work lives on today? Perhaps there was a notable genealogist in your state or county whose name should be memorialized in the NGS Hall of Fame.
If so, the National
Genealogical Society would like to hear from you. NGS is seeking nominations
from the entire genealogical community for persons whose achievements or contributions
have made an impact on the field. This educational program increases appreciation
of the high standards advocated and achieved by committed genealogists whose work
paved the way for researchers today.
Since 1986 when
Donald Lines Jacobus became the first genealogist elected to the National Genealogy
Hall of Fame, twenty‐five outstanding genealogists have
been recognized for their contributions. The 2014 honoree will join this select
group of distinguished members. This year’s selection, and the society that
honored the nominee, will be feted at the 2014 NGS Family History Conference to
be held 7-10 May 2014 in Richmond ,
Virginia
Nominations for
election to the Hall of Fame are made by genealogical societies and historical societies
throughout the United States
Guidelines for nominations:
• A nominee must have been actively engaged in genealogy in the United States for at least ten years, must have been deceased for at least five years at the time of nomination, and must have made contributions to the field of genealogy judged to be of lasting significance in ways that were unique, pioneering, or exemplary.
• The National Genealogy
Hall of Fame is an educational project in which the entire genealogical
community is invited to participate. Affiliation with the National Genealogical
Society is not required.
• The National Genealogy
Hall of Fame Committee elects one person to the Hall of Fame annually. Those
elected are permanently commemorated in the Hall of Fame at Society headquarters,
Arlington , Virginia
