2014 Winners: ARSC Awards for Excellence

ARSC is pleased to recognize outstanding published research in the field of recorded sound with our annual Awards for Excellence. The Association for Recorded Sound Collections is pleased to announce the winners of the 2014 ARSC Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research. Begun in 1991, the awards are presented to authors and publishers of books, articles, liner notes, and monographs, to recognize outstanding published research in the field of recorded sound. In giving these awards, ARSC recognizes outstanding contributions, encourages high standards, and promotes awareness of superior works. Two awards may be presented annually in each category—one for best history and one for best discography. Certificates of Merit are presented to runners-up of exceptionally high quality. The 2014 Awards for Excellence honour works published in 2013. All of the honourees have now been notified, and certificates and one year memberships to ARSC are being produced and distributed. The winners will also be acknowledged at the awards ceremony at the ARSC national conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, May 2015. Congratulations to all of this year's recipients on their exceptional work! http://www.arsc-audio.org/awards/awards.html
