In the past week we’ve learned about two awards that are given related to archivists and their wonderful projects. Projects and/or individuals who are recognized via such awards provide such an invaluable service to our family history community!
Both of these awards are sponsored by the Society of American Archivists (SAA). If you have any questions about either award, please use the contact information provided.
