Overview
The William and Edwyna Gilbert Award honors the best article on teaching history, recognizing outstanding contributions through published works. Established in memory of William Gilbert and renamed in 2012 following Edwyna Gilbert's passing, the award includes a $1,000 prize for both the author and the journal. Eligible articles must be published in 2024, and submissions are accepted from AHA members, journals, and magazines, with each allowed two nominations per award cycle.
The William and Edwyna Gilbert Award for the Best Article on Teaching History annually recognizes outstanding contributions to the teaching of history through the publication of articles in journals, magazines, and other serials. Originally the “William Gilbert Award,” named in memory of William Gilbert, a longtime AHA member and distinguished scholar-teacher of the Renaissance at the University of Kansas, it was renamed the William and Edwyna Gilbert Award in 2012 after Edwyna Gilbert passed away and left additional funds to supplement the original bequest for the award.
The current prize amount is $1,000 each to the author and journal.
