The Society for History in the Federal Government (SHFG) seeks
nominations for its 2012 John Wesley Powell Prize for excellence in
the field of historic preservation. The prize commemorates the

display. In 2012, the prize will be awarded to an individual or to
principal collaborators for a single major historic preservation
project completed in 2010 or 2011. The winner will be announced in the
spring of 2012 at the annual meeting of the SHFG. Go to
