SHGAPE sponsors several prizes and awards, in order to encourage scholarship in the field and to recognize scholars whose contributions to the study of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, or whose service to SHGAPE, merits special attention. We also offer need-based grants to supplement travel to the OAH annual meeting for SHGAPE members who are presenting papers on SHGAPE-sponsored panels.
Please visit the individual pages for each award to review the award guidelines and to see previous awardees.
