History

[edit]

The Historic Preservation Book Prize was created in 1988, the first award presented in 1989. A jury of preservation scholars and professionals from across the country choose a book that "breaks new ground or contributes to the intellectual vitality of historic preservation".[1] Winners receive a cash prize, a certification, and an invitation to give a lecture at UMW.

The book prize jury has included Gretchen Pfaehler, a senior preservation architect with Beyer Blinder Belle in Washington, DC; Eleni Glekas, director of historic preservation at The Boston Architectural College; Jeffrey Harris, independent scholar; Brent Leggs, Executive Director, African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund & Senior Vice President, National Trust for Historic Preservation.[2]

The book prize in an outgrowth of the work done by the University of Mary Washington and its Center for Historic Preservation to partner with other institutions on campus, like the James Farmer Multicultural Center, local municipalities and national historic organizations to expand the impact of preservation scholars and practitioners.[3] [4] [5]
