The Society for History in the Federal Government (SHFG) has issued its call for books for consideration for its annual book awards. It awards two prizes each year, and the deadline for submission of works for consideration this year is November 15, 2009, with works published in calendar year 2009 eligible for consideration. The Henry Adams Prize is awarded for an outstanding major publication on the federal government's history. The George Pendleton Prize is given for an outstanding major publication on the federal government’s history produced by or for a federal history program. For both awards entries may be narrative histories, edited collections of articles or essays, or any other published historical work of comparable scope. Entries are judged for value in furthering the understanding and history of the federal government; quality and thoroughness of research; style and appropriateness of presentation; suitability and rigor of methodology; and use of original and primary materials. The award committee consists of these members:
1) Dr. Keir Sterling, 7104 Wheeler Road Richmond, VA, 23229-6939
