Cambridgeshire Local History Book Awards
In 2001, the then Cambridgeshire Local History Society celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, and it was felt that some recognition of published work relating to Cambridgeshire, consisting of original research by local authors, would be a fitting tribute. The Cambridgeshire Local History Awards are the result and are awarded annually by the Association, based on new titles received by the Cambridgeshire Collection up until the 31st December each year.
From the vast amount of printed material and books that are deposited at the Cambridgeshire Collection each year; the Head Librarian in charge of the Collection provides the Association with a shortlist of up to 100 published items. These range from locally printed village or family histories to substantial hardback books. All these shortlisted items are carefully and individually studied and reported on. Then, during an in-depth selection process held in the spring, a final collection of between five & ten books is chosen. Those chosen this year were introduced at our gathering by their authors, as usual these proved to be very informative and highly enjoyable. The books that made the final list this covered a wide range of subjects; each finalist receives a framed certificate, signed by our President Mike Petty.
