Description

The Philip M. Hamer and Elizabeth Hamer Kegan Award, presented by the Society of American Archivists, honors archivists, editors, groups, or institutions that have made significant contributions to increasing public awareness of archival or manuscript materials. The award highlights projects that go beyond conventional archival practices by compiling, transcribing, exhibiting, or publicly presenting archival resources for educational or public benefit. The aim is to celebrate initiatives that make archival collections more accessible and meaningful, demonstrating clear educational impact and effectively communicating the value of records to a broader audience.
