Nominations for the 2010 Governor’s Archives Awards are being accepted by the Wisconsin Historical Records Advisory Board (WHRAB) and the Wisconsin Historical Society through April 1st. The three awards recognize archival achievement, innovation, and advocacy work with historic documents. These awards honor individuals, organizations, and formal programs that make distinctive contributions to historical records preservation and access. Award winners will be announced in June and will be formally presented an award during Archives Month in October 2010. Last year’s award winners include the Clark County Historical Internet Library; the International Harvester Collectors, Wisconsin Chapter 4, Inc.; and the Milwaukee Public Library with the Wisconsin Marine Historical Society.
