SAHGB members are invited to the annual presentation of the awards for writing and research, which will take place in East London on the 15th December 2023.
We will be holding this event at Toynbee Hall, London (near Aldgate East). The presentations will be made in the Lecture Hall at 7.30 pm, with a reception to finish the evening and celebrate with the winners and commended writers. Registrations have now closed and we look forward to meeting you later this week.
The results of the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion, the Colvin Prize, the Hawksmoor Essay medal, the Dissertation Prize, and the Heritage Research Prize will be announced. Full information about the process these awards follow, and what to expect if you would like to enter or nominate another person, can be found here.
The shortlists for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion and the Colvin Prize are given below. Student research has been well-represented this year, with the Hawksmoor Prize and Dissertation Prize attracting many entries from a wide range of universities.
Thanks to all who have supported our Awards processes, from nomination to presentation. Congratulations to all who have been shortlisted.
