Welcome to the History of Education Society

The History of Education Society’s Outstanding Book Award

The History of Education Society facilitates research in the history of

education, encourages cooperation among specialists in the field, and

promotes the relevance of historical perspective to educational

policy-making. The Society also publishes "The History of Education
Quarterly." A committee of The Society annually reviews nominees for an Outstanding Book of the Year award. The author of the winning
publication receives a $1,000 cash prize. Works are eligible which
consider any aspect of the history of education, formal or informal,
whether in the U.S. or abroad, provided they bear a 2009 copyright
date.  Publishers who plan to submit a book (or books) in nomination
should inform the committee chair, Amy Thompson McCandless
[mccandlessa@cofc.edu], at their earliest convenience. In order to be
considered, review copies must be received by all three members of thecommittee at the addresses listed below no later than May 31, 2010.
