The History Council of New South Wales invites nominations for the John
Ferry Award for 2008. The award honours the memory of John Ferry
(1949-2004), an exemplary teacher and community historian who played a major
role in practising and encouraging quality local studies during his career
as a school-teacher, and then as lecturer and senior lecturer at the
Armidale College of Advanced Education and University of New England.
The purpose of this award is to recognise outstanding New South Wales local
and community histories. The winning entry will be a local or community
history that demonstrates excellence in addressing its subject, proficiency
in the use of original materials and clarity of exposition. The winner will
receive a certificate and a cash prize of $500.00. The award will
subsequently be announced in History Magazine, which will publish the
citation. The Council, in conjunction with the Royal Australian Historical
Society, will encourage publication of the winning entry.
