2001 ARSC Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research
The Association for Recorded Sound Collections is pleased to announce the winners of the 2001 ARSC Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research. The awards will be presented at a ceremony at ARSC's 2002 annual conference. Additional information about the ARSC Conference and the ARSC Awards for Excellence may be found on the association's website.
Begun in 1991, the ARSC Awards for Excellence are awarded to authors of books, articles, or recording liner notes to recognize those publishing the very best work today in recorded sound research. In giving these awards, ARSC recognizes the contributions of these individuals, aims to encourage others to emulate their high standards, and hopes to promote readership of their work. Two awards are presented annually in each category for Best History and Best Discography, and others are acknowledged with Certificates of Merit. Awards are presented to both the authors and publishers of winning publications.
The 2001 Awards for Excellence honor works published in 2000.
