HISTORICAL DISPLAY 
Society for History in the Federal Government 
 
The Society for History in the Federal Government (SHFG) invites nominations for the 2006 John Wesley Powell Prize. This award alternates annually in recognizing excellence in the fields of historic preservation and historical display. Entries for Historic Display will be considered for the 2006 award. 
 
The award for historical display is given for any form of interpretive historical presentation including, but not limited to, museum exhibits, historical films, multi-media displays, or living history programs. The Powell Prize is given to either an individual or to principal collaborators for a single effort completed in the calendar years 2005-2006. The nominated activity should demonstrate:  (1) exemplary practices that can serve as models for future federal activities in historical display, (2) significant value in furthering history in the federal government, and (3) excellence and thoroughness of historical research and appropriate application of historical research to the activity. 
 
Any agency of the federal government may submit nominations. Nongovernmental organizations, including federal contractors, may submit nominations for activities carried out on behalf of the federal government. The winner will be announced in spring 2007, and invited to accept the award at the SHFG annual meeting in Washington, DC.
