Each year the GRCC Local History Committee
awards a prize to the author of the best article published
during the year on any aspect of local history in Gloucestershire.
The judges look for interesting topics with well organised
material and footnotes (endnotes) and bibliography where
appropriate; use of illustrations including maps and plans
and a variety of sources with awareness of their reliability,
together with how the topic fits into the regional and
national context. | |
