The Center for the Historical Study of Women and Gender at the State University of New York at Binghamton in association with Alexander Street Press will award an annual prize of $500 for the best scholarly use of the primary source materials archived on the Women and Social Movements website. For the 2008 prize we invite work that draws on one of the following three sets of sources:

(1) Proceedings of Women’s Rights Conventions, 1848-1869; (2) Published sources related to the woman suffrage movement, 1830-1930, including the six-volume History of Woman Suffrage, 1848-1922; (3) Minutes of the annual national conventions of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, 1874-1898.

Submissions should take one of the following three forms: (1) a scholarly article of not more than 10,000 words; (2) a bibliographic essay illuminating a coherent set of these online sources; or (3) a document project. The winning entry will be selected by a prize committee consisting of scholars, archivists, and librarians, and will be published on the Women and Social Movements website.
