Past Best Practice Award Winners from NACRC are listed here. Interestingly, Collin County
Archival best practice awards are a win-win. Normally they involve something which allows
the professionals tasked with managing records to be more effective and
efficient and outcomes includes safer and often more accessible records which we
love as family historians!
Are there other award-giving
institutions for practitioners and the repositories of most interest to genealogists?
