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 that appear in the full-text source section of 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. 
 
To access these sources on WASM:

From the WASM homepage, click on Browse Sources
Then click on [Sort by Type--Fulltext only]
Then scroll through the full-text sources displayed to see the titles.

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 group 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.

Submissions must be electronic and are due to co-editor Kathryn Kish Sklar, chair of the prize committee, at kksklar@binghamton.edu by April 1, 2008.  Judging will be completed between April 1 and early June 2008 and the prize winner will be notified directly and will be announced at a WASM reception at the 2008 Berkshire Conference on Women's History at the University of Minnesota.
