Nominations for ARSC Awards for Excellence


You are invited to propose candidates for the 2001 Association for Recorded 
Sound Collections (ARSC) Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound 
Research.  Nominations may be made by anyone, whether or not a member of 
ARSC.  Eligible publications include any printed workbook, monograph, 
article, liner notes first published during 2000.  The work may be on any 
subject related to recorded sound.  This includes histories, discographies, 
and recording artist biographies in any field of music, speech or 
technology, genre (classical, popular, rock, jazz, country, folk, spoken 
word, labels, phonographs, etc.), as well as modern techniques for the 
preservation or reproduction of older recordings.  The work should deal 
primarily with historical periods, defined as at least ten years prior to 
publication (e.g., pre-1991), with the exception of works related to 
preservation and technology.  In addition, a Lifetime Achievement Award 
will be presented to an individual in recognition of his or her life's work 
in published recorded sound research.

The deadline for nominations is January 31, 2001.   A list of past winners 
is available on the ARSC website at www.arsc-audio.org.  The Awards 
Committee especially welcomes information concerning eligible foreign and 
small press publications that might otherwise be overlooked.  Please 
forward the author, title, publisher, and publisher's address for each
