Louis S. Greenbaum History Writing Prize

The Louis S. Greenbaum History Writing Prize recognizes outstanding papers written for history courses at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. All topics are eligible, and essays by both history majors and non-majors may be entered. The prize is divided into two categories: a class-essay division for papers of 8 to 12 pages, and a term-paper division for longer research papers. Papers are nominated by faculty members, though students who believe their work is particularly strong are encouraged to ask their instructors if their papers might qualify for consideration.
