*I**NTRODUCTION*

Peter Eric Palmquist was killed by a hit and run driver on January 13,
2003, at the age of 66. He had been a professional photographer for more
than 50 years, 28 of them at Humboldt State University. He is considered
one of the most important photo historians of the 20th century. His
emphasis was the American West, California, Humboldt County before 1950,
and the history of women in photography worldwide. He published over 60
books and 340 articles. With co-author Thomas Kailbourn, he won the
Caroline Bancroft Western History Prize for their book, *Pioneer
Photographers of the Far West*. Professor Martha Sandweiss, Princeton
University, wrote, “He (Peter) established new ways of pursuing the history
of photography, and with his collections and research notes soon to be
accessible at Yale, he will be speaking to and inspiring new generations of
students and researchers forever.” Established by Peter’s lifetime
companion, Pam Mendelsohn, this fund supports the study of under-researched
women photographers internationally, past and present, and under-researched
Western American photographers before 1900.



A small panel of outside consultants with professional expertise in the
field of photohistory and/or grant reviewing will review the applications
in order to determine the awards. Applications will be judged on the
quality of the proposal, the ability of the applicant to carry out the
project within the proposed budget and timeline, and the significance of
the project to the field of photographic history. Each recipient of the
award will agree to donate upon completion of the project a copy of the
resulting work (i.e., published book, unpublished report, thesis, etc.) to
the Humboldt Area Foundation to submit to the Peter Palmquist Archive at
Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library and a report to
Humboldt Area Foundation at the end of the grant period.
