Established in 2015, the award is presented in honor of Barbara Blaszak, Professor Emerita of History at Le Moyne College. It carries a $100 cash prize along with complimentary registration at the next year’s meeting.
The prize is determined by a committee of judges who are members of the NYSAEH Executive Committee.
