Purpose and Criteria for Selection:
The Theodore Calvin Pease Award recognizes superior writing achievements by
students of archival studies. Entries are judged on innovation, scholarship,
pertinence, and clarity of writing. Papers examining major trends and issues in
the archives profession are preferred. Created in 1987 (and modified in 2007
and 2012), this award honors Theodore Calvin Pease, the first editor of
American Archivist, the journal of the Society of American Archivists.
Eligibility:
Eligible entries are written by students enrolled in archival studies
classes at either the master’s or doctoral level. A faculty member or
instructor associated with the archival studies program must submit the entry
to verify that the student paper was written within the context of an archival
studies program and completed during the preceding calendar year. A faculty
member or instructor in an archival studies program may submit one entry per
award cycle. There is no cap on the number of papers than can be submitted by a
school or program, provided no individual faculty member submits more than one
paper.
Entries should be unpublished manuscripts of 5,000-8,000 words, must include an
abstract, and should conform to the stylistic guidelines described in the
editorial policy of American Archivist. Submit only the title with the paper.
The name of the author, the program, or the faculty member or instructor must
not appear on the manuscript.
Sponsor and Funding:
The Society of American Archivists Foundation.
Prize:
A certificate and cash prize of $250. The winning manuscript, after going
through the editorial process with the editor of American Archivist, will be
published in American Archivist.
Selection Committee:
Papers will be judged in a blind review by the Pease Subcommittee of the
SAA Awards Committee. The subcommittee consists of the editor of American
Archivist (who also serves as chair), the vice chair of the Committee on
Education, and a member of the Society of American Archivists with experience
in archival research and literature appointed annually by the president-elect
to serve a one-year term. The editor of American Archivist also edits the
manuscript and leads the student through the editorial process in preparation
for publication.
