MLA - Prize for a Bibliography, Archive, or Digital Project

Organization: Modern Language Association

Established in 1998 for bibliographies, the prize was redefined in 2012 to include archives and digital projects. It is presented each even-numbered year. A multivolume bibliography is eligible if at least one volume was published during that period, and an ongoing digital project is eligible if substantive work was added during that period. The prize will be given without regard to the language of the compiler or of the text presented in the work, as long as it falls within the subject scope of the MLA (e.g., modern languages and literatures, composition theory, folklore, linguistics). Editors or compilers need not be members of the MLA.
