Association for Recorded Sound Collections

The Awards for Excellence are presented to authors and publishers of books, articles, or recording liner notes, to recognize outstanding published research in the field of recorded sound. In giving these awards, ARSC recognizes the contributions of these individuals and aims to encourage others to emulate their high standards and to promote readership of their work. A maximum of two awards is presented annually in each category—one for best history and one for best discography. Nominated works must deal with historical subjects, defined as pertaining predominantly to periods at least ten years prior to the year of publication.

Certificates of Merit are presented to runners-up of exceptionally high quality. The deadline for Awards for Excellence submissions is December 31 of year the work was published. Send nominated work to Committee Chair, Roberta Schwartz, at rfschwar@ku.edu. Awards are announced each fall and presented at a ceremony during the next ARSC Annual Conference.
