Nominations Open August 15 - June 1

Since we cannot hope to keep track of all genealogical activities in the state, we are asking you in the local genealogical and historical societies and libraries to assist us in identifying those who should be candidates for special recognition. Neither submitters nor nominees need be members of MoSGA.

Nominations will be accepted for:

  • AWARDS OF MERIT (presented for particularly outstanding achievements by volunteers or persons not financially compensated for their efforts). For example, nominees for Awards of Merit might be local societies and their officers, or diligent researchers, compilers, and authors.

  • CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION (awarded to salute those professionals who, although paid for their efforts, consistently give more than required or expected). Nominees for Certificates of Appreciation could include repositories, librarians, archivists, or governmental employees and officials.

How to make an Award Nomination

    1. Submit the name and address of the individual or group.

    2. Include a brief summary of their accomplishments.

    3. Send your nominations to the Awards Committee, care of MoSGA, at P.O. Box 833, Columbia, MO 65205-0833, or email us at mosga@mosga.org

    Nomination Form

    Not all nominees will receive awards (we present three or four in each category each year), but all will receive careful consideration. If a past nominee did not receive an award, please feel free to re-submit the nomination.

    • Those who do receive awards will be recognized and honored at the annual MoSGA conference and awards banquet.

    • Attendance is not required to receive an award, but we do hope that all of those selected for these special honors will make every effort to be present.
