Description
The Oliver Wendell Holmes Travel Award enables international archivists currently training or studying in the United States or Canada to augment their experience by attending the Society of American Archivists’ Annual Meeting. Offered by the Society of American Archivists (SAA) and funded by the SAA Foundation, the award supports travel to the meeting rather than a separate research project.
Established in 1979, the award honors Oliver Wendell Holmes, who joined the National Archives staff in 1935 and later served as executive director of the National Historical Publications Commission. Holmes was an SAA Fellow and the Society’s fourteenth president, serving in 1958–1959.
