The annual Primary Source Awards, started in 2010, recognize librarians, teachers, and researchers who use or promote the use of primary source materials in new and innovative ways via access, research, and teaching.

Now more than ever, primary source materials are readily available and accessible; the Primary Source Awards help bring attention to these vital resources. Nominations, including self-nominations, will be accepted until midnight, January 31, 2013. Winners will be announced in April 2013 during CRL’s Council of Voting Members Annual Meeting. Both awardees and nominators of the awardees can choose between a gift certificate for Powell's Books or an iPad.
