Every community has them--the unsung heroes of local museum or preservation efforts, including Native language preservation. Maybe it's time to let the whole state know about a person who means so much to your community....
The Montana Historical Society is seeking nominations for people and organizations whose exemplary commitment to identifying and preserving our historical and cultural heritage makes them eligible for a Heritage Keeper Award.
Up to two people or organizations will be honored in 2024 by the MTHS Board of Trustees with its annual Heritage Keeper Award. To qualify, the individual must be alive, and organizations must be currently active. The nominee must have demonstrated a commitment to a significant Montana history project or have identified and preserved objects or property of significance to Montana’s history and culture. Organizations also must have a record of preserving and celebrating Montana’s historical and cultural heritage.
Successful nominees will have shown a commitment to Montana’s historical and cultural preservation beyond the requirements of professional employment or an organization’s specific goals and objectives. In selecting award recipients, the MTHS Board of Trustees will focus on the significance and impact of the nominee's overall work in enhancing, promoting, and stimulating general public interest in a specific aspect of Montana history and culture.
The nomination deadline is April 1, 2024. Here's the link to submit your nomination.
