Preservation Publication Award

About this program

Offered by the Society of American Archivists Foundation and administered through the SAA Preservation Section, the Preservation Publication Award recognizes outstanding published work on archives preservation (digital or analog) that advances theory or practice, codifies principles, presents innovative research, investigates timely preservation issues, or examines the profession’s history. The award includes a certificate and a $750 cash prize. Eligible applicants are authors or editors of an article, report, chapter, or monograph (audiovisual, digital, or print) relevant to the North American archives community and published in the preceding calendar year; nominations require a completed form and the required number of copies of the work. Submissions are reviewed by the Preservation Publication Award Subcommittee of the SAA Awards Committee and must be submitted by February 28 each year.
