Historic New England is accepting nominations for its 2024 Prize for Collecting Works on Paper. The prize

This is the fifteenth year Historic New England will award the Prize for Collecting Works on Paper. The annual prize was established to honor collectors or dealers who have assembled or helped save significant collections related to New England and its assorted communities or the nation.

Previous award winners show a wide-ranging group of collections – from candy wrappers to carousel-related ephemera, from documents sharing New England town and city histories to tattoos, Shaker culture, and more. The common thread is the passion these collectors have for sharing the information and objects they so enthusiastically accumulate.

Nominations are due by Tuesday, September 3, 2024, by 5:00 p.m. Submit your nomination today.
