Memorial essay prizes
By the Business Archives Council of Scotland’s journal "Business & Industrial History: A Journal of Archival Research"
Hello all,
A reminder that the deadline for Moss and Richmond essay prizes is the 31st October.
Essay Prizes in Memory of Michael Moss and Lesley Richmond
Two prizes, each of £300, will be awarded annually by the Business Archives Council of Scotland’s journal Business & Industrial History: A Journal of Archival Research in memory of Michael Moss and Lesley Richmond. Both Lesley and Michael were former Convenors of the Business Archives Council of Scotland and great supporters of our journal and business archives and history in Scotland and internationally.
The Moss and Richmond essay prizes are aimed at archivists, postgraduate students and early career researchers. Entries may explore any aspect of business and industrial history that uses archival resources or reflects archival practice within the context of corporate archives and those collecting repositories with business collections. We welcome essays developed from postgraduate work (e.g. master’s dissertation or chapter of PhD), professional practice or a piece of original research.
Submissions should consist of between 3,500 and 7,000 words. Entries should follow the format specified in our submission requirements. The winning entry will be awarded a prize of £300 and, subject to peer review, will be eligible for publication in Business and Industrial History. Full details on our website at https://busarchscot.org.uk/journal/bih/
Please contact us if you’d like to discuss a potential submission with the word ‘essay prize’ in the subject at businessarchivesscotland @ gmail.com. We will also consider proposals rather than full submissions by the deadline later this month.
Many thanks,
Kiara
