--- NOMINATIONS for the 2007 ARSC AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE ---

You are invited to propose candidates for the 2007 ARSC Awards for
Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research. Nominations may be made by
anyone, ARSC member or not. The deadline for nominations is January 31,
2007.

Eligible publications include any original printed work -- book, monograph,
article, liner notes, etc. -- first published during 2006. The work may
treat any subject related to recorded sound, but must embody the highest
research standards. It should deal primarily with historical subjects,
pertaining to periods at least ten years prior to the year of publication,
with the exception of works related to modern preservation or playback
technology.

The ARSC Awards typically recognize histories, discographies, or biographies
representing the "Best Research" in these recording genres: Blues or Gospel
Music; Classical Music; Country Music; Folk or Ethnic Music; Jazz; Popular
Music; Rock, Rhythm & Blues, or Soul; and Spoken Word. Additional categories
include: General Research in Recorded Sound; Record Labels or Manufacturers;
Phonographs; and Preservation or Reproduction of Recorded Sound.

The Awards Committee especially welcomes information concerning eligible
journal articles, as well as foreign and small-press publications that might
otherwise be overlooked.


NOMINATIONS for the ARSC LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT and DISTINGUISHED
SERVICE AWARDS

The ARSC Lifetime Achievement Award is presented annually to an individual,
in recognition of a life's work in research and publication.

The ARSC Award for Distinguished Service to Historic Recordings honors a
person who has made outstanding contributions to the field, outside of
published works or discographic research.

Nominations for either of these awards must be received by January 31, 2007.
