2012 UP History Awards nominations due
Do you know an individual or historical organization that has gone above and beyond to preserve and promote the history of Michigan's Upper Peninsula? That has given their all to educate their community or to preserve a historic home, industrial complex, streetscape or archeological site? A person or organization that has interviewed and recorded the memories of older citizens or researched and documented the history of your community? Someone who has been a dedicated and valuable volunteer at the local historical society or archives?
For individuals, please consider nominating that person for the Charles Follo Award. Named in honor of Charles Follo, a school teacher from Escanaba who worked to establish historical societies and promote the history of the Upper Peninsula, the Charles Follo Award is presented annually by the Historical Society of Michigan to an individual who has contributed to the preservation and promotion of Upper Peninsula history.
For historical organizations, please consider nominating them for the Superior Award, established by the Historical Society of Michigan in 2006. The Superior Award recognizes historical societies, museums, and other historical organizations that have preserved and advanced Upper Peninsula history.
The 2012 Upper Peninsula History Awards will be presented at the 63rd Annual Upper Peninsula History Conference in Sault Ste. Marie June 22-24 during the annual awards banquet.
