Dear SHA Member,

The submission deadline for the 2025 Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award has been extended from Monday, July 29 to August 12, 2024.

The 2025 Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award will be presented to a recent graduate whose dissertation is considered by the Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award Panel to be an outstanding contribution to historical archaeology.

To be considered for the 2025 award, nominees must have officially received their Ph.D. degrees within three years prior to May 31, 2024 (between June 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024). In the nomination letter, the nominator must provide the date the nominee officially received their Ph.D. (verification preferred, which could be a transcript or some other form of proof of date of receipt of Ph.D. degree). A digital version of the dissertation must be provided to Teresita Majewski, Gilmore Dissertation Award Coordinator, by August 12, 2024 (e-mail is preferred, but contact the coordinator for alternate methods to submit the digital version of the dissertation if necessary, particularly if the file size of the dissertation is over 10‒15 MB). Hard copies of the dissertation or copies on CD-ROM or DVD are no longer required. Very Important: The nominator or nominee must also provide the nominee’s contact information, including current mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number(s).

Nominations must be made by nonstudent SHA members and must consist of one nomination letter that makes a case for the dissertation. Self-nominations will not be accepted. NOMINEES AND NOMINATORS MUST BE MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY AT THE TIME THE NOMINATION IS SUBMITTED. The nominator must provide verification of both his/her SHA membership status as well as that of the nominee.

Deadline for receipt of all nomination materials for the 2025 award is Monday, August 12, 2024. The panel will begin their deliberations shortly thereafter.
