Nominations open for the Alan Ball Award 2019

Nominations are now open for the Alan Ball Award 2019 aka Local History Publication of the Year.

The award is open to all heritage and community organisations involved with some aspect of local history, and who have received public funding for the publication. Public funding includes lottery funding, e.g. Heritage Lottery Fund and Awards for All. In addition to local authority libraries, archives, museum and archaeology services, we welcome submissions from small local museums, heritage centres and community history projects. The publication needs to have appeared between July 2018 and June 2019.

We have two categories:

• Print publication
• E-publication.

One winner will be picked in each category.

Nominations close on the 30th November. To submit your nominations, please use the forms at the bottom of this page.
