President's Award

The SGA President’s Award recognizes individuals or organizations from outside the archival profession who make significant contributions to it. These supporters -- be they legislators or administrators or researchers or others -- are absolutely vital to the archives field and individual archivists. Advocates from other communities, with different perspectives, illuminate our relevance to the wider world and encourage us to question our status quo. The President's Award is presented to the recipient at the SGA Annual Meeting reception.

Among the previous recipients of the President’s Award are Dr. Vicki Crawford, Director of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection, and Joe Tanner & Associates, a governmental consulting firm hired by the Friends of Georgia Archives and History to assist with the campaign to save the Georgia Archives.

In the spirit of proactive archives, please nominate someone you know.

Email president@soga.org with the name of your nominee and a brief description of their contributions to the archival profession by Friday, September 29, 2023.
