The Local Studies Group of CILIP are looking to recognise an outstanding local studies librarian.
The McCulla award is usually given for a recent major project, or as a lifetime award for someone near the end of their career. It comes with a prize of £200. Re-submissions from previous years are very welcome.
The prize is in memory of Dorothy McCulla who was the Head of the Local Studies Department at Birmingham Central Library, a post she held from 1969 until her untimely death in 1981.
We welcome nominations from colleagues, local historians, family historians and anyone who knows a local studies professional who has made a difference.
To nominate, please complete the form at the bottom of this page.
Any questions? Please contact Alice Lock via alicelocalstudies@outlook.com
This year nominations close on 31 October 2021. Nominations received after that would be considered for the next award.
