Each
year the GRCC Local History Committee awards a prize to
the author of the best article published during the year
on any aspect of local history in Gloucestershire. The
judges look for interesting topics with well organised
material and footnotes (endnotes) and bibliography where
appropriate; use of illustrations including maps and plans
and a variety of sources with awareness of their reliability,
together with how the topic fits into the regional and
national context. |
