Friends and colleagues, the time has come to submit articles for Mormon History Association awards! Here are this year’s categories:

• Jan Shipps Best Article Award
  • Awarded to the published article or essay that best exemplifies the legacy of one of MHA’s most important founders, scholars, and leaders. Overall quality is a crucial consideration, as well as an author’s use of interdisciplinary tools, interpretive innovation, and/or incorporation of distinct Mormon traditions.
• Journal of Mormon History Best Article Award
  • Determined by JMH editors; you do not need to submit for this award
• Best article on Mormon women’s history
  • Awarded for an outstanding article on the experiences of Mormon women in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Sponsored by the Mormon Women’s History Initiative Team (MWHIT), an independent group of scholars from around the United States who encourage research, writing, and publications on Mormon women’s history.
• Best International Article Award
  • Awarded for the best international Mormon history article (in print or online journals) in honor of Andrew Jenson (pictured), Assistant LDS Church Historian, for his outstanding contribution to documenting nearly every LDS congregation around the world.
