The Malta Historical Society is launching its first edition of awards to recognise publications that have contributed distinctly to Maltese historical studies. The awards will acknowledge excellence in scholarly articles on Maltese history published in Malta and abroad by Maltese and foreign authors, as well as articles by new entrants in the field of historical research.

The society will present two awards: the MHS Awards for Published Historical Research and for Published Historical Research by Emerging Authors. Middlesea Insurance plc is supporting the society.

Nominated papers must have been published between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2013. Three hard copies of each paper must be sent to The Secretary, Malta Historical Society, 1 Dun Amatore Gambin Street, Santa Lucija, SLC 1410 by Friday.

The winning authors will receive the Middlesea Trophy for Maltese History, a review in Melita Historica and a one-year complimentary MHS membership. A €1,000 cash prize goes to the Published Historical Research award winner and €500 to the Published Historical Research by Emerging Authors recipient.

More information on rules and deadlines are published on www.maltahistory.eu.
