New PCB-AHA Prize!
Carl Abbott and David Johnson Article Award in the history of the Pacific World
The Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association is proud to announce the creation of the Abbott-Johnson Award thanks to a generous contribution from Carl Abbott and David Johnson, past PCB-AHA Presidents and Co-Editors of the Pacific Historical Review (PHR). We are accepting donations to further support the Abbott-Johnson Award.
The prize will be awarded annually for the best article in the history of the Pacific World, its peoples, and relations (including Oceanian, Southeast Asian, Asian American, and Hawaiian history), published in the PHR or in another journal by a PCB-AHA member. The award honors Abbott, emeritus professor of Urban Studies and History at Portland State University, and Johnson, emeritus professor of History at Portland State University, for their service to the PCB-AHA, the PHR, and the field of Pacific World history.
The author need not live within the region served by the PCB-AHA (the Western States of the United States and the Western Provinces of Canada) if the article appeared in the PHR. Articles eligible for our other prizes are eligible for this award. The recipient will receive $250. If the article appears outside of the PHR, the author must be a current member of the American Historical Association living or working in the region served by the Pacific Coast Branch.
Address questions about submissions and donations to Michael Green, Executive Director PCB–AHA, [email protected].
