NCPH - Book Award

Organization: National Council on Public History

The National Council on Public History invites nominations for its annual award for the best book published about or growing out of public history. Books "about" public history include those that address its theory and/or practice. Books "growing out of" public history are the products of public history work, including but not limited to exhibition catalogs, documentary films, policy studies, and monographs whose contributions have a clear public dimension. Whether "about" or "growing out of" public history, contenders will clearly display the public aspects of their conception, development, execution, and how they illuminate issues and concerns significant to audiences beyond the academy.
