The Marquette Regional History Center is seeking nominees for our 2020 Helen Longyear Paul Award and Peter White Award.
Marquette County has a rich history and cultural heritage that inspires many to interpret, preserve and share it. As a history institution it is our responsibility to recognize those efforts and promote the achievements of people and organizations making history today. The Marquette Regional History Center began an awards program in 1984.
The Helen Longyear Paul Award is given to recognize individuals and the Peter White Award honors foundations, companies, organizations and institutions. Both recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation or interpretation of the history of our area.
Nominations should include the award category, how the individual or organization has shown dedication and commitment to local history, and the projects they have worked on. A one page submission should be sent to the Marquette Regional History Center, 145 W. Spring Street, Marquette, MI 49855 or to mrhc@marquettehistory.org, no later than February 5, 2021.
Awards will be presented at the Annual Meeting on February 24, 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. The meeting will be held digitally and is open to the public. A brief business meeting and awards will be included. For more information visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571.
