NATIONAL
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY SEEKS NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2014 GENEALOGY HALL OF
FAME
Would
your society like to honor a genealogist whose exemplary work lives
on today? Perhaps there was a notable genealogist in your state or
county whose name should be memorialized in the NGS Hall of Fame.
If
so, the National Genealogical Society would like to hear from you.
NGS is seeking nominations from the entire genealogical community for
persons whose achievements or contributions have made an impact on
the field. This educational program increases appreciation of the
high standards advocated and achieved by committed genealogists whose
work paved the way for researchers today.
Since
1986 when Donald Lines Jacobus became the first genealogist elected
to the National Genealogy Hall of Fame, twenty‐five outstanding
genealogists have been recognized for their contributions. The 2012
honoree will join this select group of distinguished members. This
year’s selection, and the society that honored the nominee, will be
feted at the 2014 NGS Family History Conference to be held 7-10 May
2014 in Richmond, Virginia. Nominations for election to the Hall of
Fame are made by genealogical societies and historical societies
throughout the United States.
Guidelines
for nominations:
• A
nominee must have been actively engaged in genealogy in the United
States for a at least ten years, must have been deceased for at least
five years at the time of nomination, and must have made
contributions to the field of genealogy judged to be of lasting
significance in ways that were unique, pioneering, or exemplary.
• The
National Genealogy Hall of Fame is an educational project in which
the entire genealogical community is invited to participate.
Affiliation with the National Genealogical Society is not required.
• The
National Genealogy Hall of Fame Committee elects one person to the
Hall of Fame annually. Those elected are permanently commemorated in
the Hall of Fame at Society headquarters, Arlington, Virginia.
