CfP for MLA Meyerhoff Prize - Due Nov 1, 2018
The Erich Meyerhoff (formerly Murray Gottlieb) Prize is awarded annually
by the Medical Library Association for the best unpublished scholarly
paper about a topic in the history of the health sciences. The purpose
of the prize is to recognize and stimulate interest in the history of
the health sciences. The author of the winning essay receives
complimentary registration to the annual meeting, a certificate at the
association’s annual meeting, and a cash award of $500, funded by the
History of the Health Sciences Section, after the meeting.
This prize was established in 1956 by Ralph and Jo Grimes of the Old
Hickory Bookshop, Brinklow, MD, in memory of Murray Gottlieb, a New York
antiquarian book dealer. Since 2010, this award has been sponsored by
the MLA History of the Health Sciences Section. In 2016 it was renamed
to honor longtime MLA member Erich Meyerhoff, AHIP, FMLA. Meyerhoff was
a legendary figure in medical librarianship with a great devotion to
the history of the health sciences.
Deadline for submissions is November 1, 2018 and at least one author
must be a member of the Medical Library Association. Please visit https://www.mlanet.org/p/cm/ld
