Hans Rosenberg Book and Article Prizes
The Conference Group for Central European History sponsors two prizes: a book prize and an article prize named for the pioneering social historian Hans Rosenberg. The prizes are given for the best work done in Central European history. The prizes are awarded every other year with the book and article prize alternating by year.
Nominations can be made by individuals and by presses. In a given year the articles and books published in the previous two years are eligible (for the 2007 article prize, for example, articles published in 2005 and 2006 are eligible for nomination). This year (2007) the Conference Group is awarding its article prize; in 2008 it will have a competition for the book prize. The nomination deadline for the book prize is May 31st. For the article prize the committee considers articles in all journals in the area of Central European History published during the years under review. Nominations are also welcome for the article prize, but they are not necessary.
The area “Central European history” is understood to include all German-speaking countries as well as areas previously included within the Hapsburg monarchy. Nominations are for work published in English by permanent residents of North America. The Conference Group discourages submissions of reprints, second editions, multi-authored anthologies, and document publications. Awards are announced at the conference group's annual business meeting, which meets concurrently with the annual meeting of the American Historical Association.
Nominations for the book prize should be sent to Prof. Jennifer Jenkins, Executive Secretary of the Conference Group for Central European History, Department of History, University of Toronto, 100 St. George St., Room 2074, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 3G3. Questions should be sent to jl.jenkins@utoronto.ca
