The Association for Recorded Sound Collections is pleased to announce the
winners of the 2012 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 2012 Awards for Excellence honor works published in 2011.
Additionally, a Lifetime Achievement Award and Award for Distinguished
Service to Historical Recordings are also presented annually.
