For immediate release:

The Marquette Regional History Center is seeking nominees for our 2022 Helen Longyear Paul Award, and Peter White Award.

Marquette County has a rich history and cultural heritage that inspires many to interpret, preserve and share it. As a history institution it is our responsibility to recognize those efforts and promote the achievements of people and organizations making history today. The Marquette Regional History Center began an awards program in 1984. The Helen Longyear Paul Award recognizes individuals, and the Peter White Award honors foundations, companies, organizations, and institutions. Both recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation, or interpretation of the history of our area.

Nominations should be a page long and delivered by mail or in person to 145 W. Spring Street, Marquette, MI 49855, or, use mrhc@marquettehistory.org to nominate by email. Each letter should include the award category, how the individual/organization has shown dedication and commitment to local history, and the projects they have worked on. The deadline for entry is February 1, 2023.

Please join us for the awards which will be presented at the MRHC during our Annual Meeting on February 22, 2023. For more information, visit our website www.marquettehistory.org or call (906) 226-3571.
