St. Louis Mercantile Library Prize

St. Louis Mercantile Library, University of Missouri, St. Louis, MO/USA

https://bibsocamer.org/awards/st-louis-mercantile-library-prize/ 

 

 

Funded by the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri,
St. Louis, this prize encourages scholarship in the bibliography of American
history and literature. Awarded every three years, the prize brings a cash
award of $2,000 and a year's membership in the Society. The next prize will
be awarded in January 2020.

 

Submissions & Eligibility

Submissions for the Mercantile Library Prize should concentrate on some
aspect of American history and culture in territories that now comprise the
United States, or on literature by American authors, or literature intended
for publication in territories that now comprise the United States. They
should involve research in bibliography and printing history broadly
conceived and focus on the book (the physical object) as historical evidence
for studying topics such as the history of book production, publication,
distribution, collecting, or reading. Studies of the printing, publishing,
and allied trades, as these relate to American history and literature, are
also welcome.

 

Submissions may take the form of a published book or article, a master's
thesis or doctoral dissertation defended and approved, or research results
distributed in another manner, such as the website or CD-ROM. Submissions
must have been published or, if a dissertation or thesis, approved the year
of the deadline or in the three previous calendar years. For the 2020 award,
this means between January 2017 and January 2020. If a publication has an
incorrect nominal date disqualifying it for submission but an actual date of
publication within the prize period, it may be nominated with a letter by
the publisher or editor testifying to the actual date of publication.
Unpublished dissertations and theses must be accompanied by a letter from
the director attesting their approval.

 

Scholars are eligible to apply for the Prize without regard to membership in
the Bibliographical Society of America or any other society, and without
regard to citizenship or academic affiliation, degree, or rank. The Prize
will be awarded to the author of a particular work of scholarship without
regard to the author's prolonged or repeated contributions to the field.
Applications are encouraged from young or junior scholars who have not as
yet published extensively. Applicants may nominate themselves or be
nominated by others.
