  CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

  The National Genealogical Society, in cooperation with ProQuest CSA, seeks nominations for its annual award to a librarian who has made significant contributions to the field of genealogy and local history. The nominee must have at least five years experience in a public or special library.

In 2004 and 2005 the Godfrey Memorial Library sponsored the award. Since 2006, the $1,000 Filby Prize has been sponsored by ProQuest of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
