Arthurdale Heritage, Inc.
Barbara J. Howe Award

The Barbara J. Howe Award was created by Arthurdale Heritage, Inc., to recognize and encourage scholarship and research of New Deal Homesteads  and related topics.

An honorific award and recognition in the New Deal Homestead Museum will be granted to an individual or organization whose work is judged to illustrate best the unique history of the New Deal communities.

To promote excellence, the award will be presented only when a  worthy candidate is identified.

Preservation projects, journal articles, manuscripts, museum exhibits, films, and other formats are eligible for this award. Acceptance of the award implies that Arthurdale Heritage, Inc., will have the right to display the award-winning entry in the museum, and maybe even online, and to keep a copy as a permanent part of the collection.

The deadline for entries will be June 1, of each year, and the prize, if awarded, will be presented during the Arthurdale Heritage Anniversary Dinner held in October.
