Albert J. Beveridge Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Albert J. Beveridge Award is a scientific award given by the American Historical Association (AHA).

It was donated in 1939 in memory of Albert J. Beveridge , United States Senator for Indiana and a longtime member of the AHA. It was awarded every two years until 1945 and has been awarded annually since then. The prize is awarded to works of historical science that deal with the history of the American double continent since its "discovery" in 1492.
