Publications Honored

The Committee for the Presbyterian Historical Society, at its annual meeting in Philadelphia on November 2-4, announced its awards for the year 2000.

The Francis Makemie Award in the amount of $500.00 for an outstanding published book in American Presbyterian/Reformed history was awarded to Mark Hulsether for Building a Protestant Left: "Christianity and Crisis" Magazine, 1941-1993 (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1999). The Robert Lee Stowe Award in the amount of $250.00 for the best published historical study of an American Presbyterian or Reformed congregation was awarded to the Presbyterian Church of Brookville, Pennsylvania, for The Presbyterian Church of Brookville, Pennsylvania: A History, 1824-1999 by Carole A. Briggs.

The Woodrow Wilson Award, for the best published scholarly historical article pertaining to an American Presbyterian or Reformed topic, and the Patricia Ann Burrus Spaulding Award, for the best published scholarly historical article pertaining to an American Presbyterian or Reformed woman or women, were not presented in 2000 because of the small number of entries in these categories.

The Makemie Award is named for the Rev. Francis Makemie, organizer to the first American presbytery; the Stowe Award for an outstanding benefactor of the study of Presbyterian history at the congregational level; the Wilson Award for the twenty-eight president of the United States, a historian and lifelong Presbyterian; and the Spaulding Award for a longtime student and benefactor of Presbyterian history.

The Makemie, Stowe, Wilson, and Spaulding Awards are given annually by the Presbyterian Historical Society. Information about the 2001 awards is available from the Publications and Awards Subcommittee, Presbyterian Historical Society, P.O. Box 849, Montreat, NC 28757, 828-669-7061 or wbynum@history.pcusa.org.
