The award, which confers a prize of $500, will be presented to the Library by the Western Association of Women Historians at the Association's annual conference, to be held June 6-8 at the University of California at Berkeley. "We are pleased that this resource guide has been cited for excellence," said Librarian of Congress James H. Billington. "It reflects the hard work of a superb team of subject area specialists at the Library of Congress who unearthed these interdisciplinary, multicultural resources, and a distinguished panel of women's history scholars who provided guidance about research trends in this field." Published in 2001 by the Library in cooperation with University Press of New England, "American Women" provides a blueprint for research in the field of American women's history and culture using the Library's vast collections, in various disciplines and formats.
