2010 Reed Fink Award in Southern Labor History
One or more awards of $250-$500 are given annually to individuals whose research in Georgia State University Library’s Southern Labor Archives will lead to a book, article, dissertation, or other substantive product. In return, recipients agree to make a presentation about their research to the Georgia State University community within one academic year after receiving the award.
Formerly the Merl E. Reed Fellowship in Southern Labor History, the Reed-Fink Award was renamed in 2009 to honor Georgia State University Professors Merl Reed and Gary Fink.
Professors Merl E. Reed and Gary Fink were instrumental in the establishment, development, and use of the Southern Labor Archives from the early 1970s. Today, the Southern Labor Archives has over 500 collections used by researchers from throughout the Southeast, the United States, and the world. Created in 2000, the Merl E. Reed Fellowship in Southern Labor History was named, at the urging of Dr. Fink, to honor Dr. Reed’s career and role in the founding of the Southern Labor Archives. After Dr. Fink passed away in 2008, Dr. Reed requested that the name of the Fellowship be changed to honor Dr. Fink as well. The Reed Fink Award in Southern Labor History now honors both men and their many contributions to education, labor studies, and the Southern Labor Archives.
Faculty members, graduate students, upper-level undergraduates, and recognized independent scholars and artists are encouraged to apply.
