stood out to you?

The annual Leland Award--a cash prize and certificate--recognizes

Established in 1959, this award honors American archival pioneer
Waldo Gifford Leland (1879-1966), president of the Society of
American Archivists in the1940s and one of the driving forces behind
the founding of the National Archives.
