The 2023 Magruder-Newman Prizes

The Magruder-Newman Prizes are new awards to recognize student work presented at the annual meeting of the PHA. Each prize carries an award of $125 plus a one-year membership in the Association. One prize will go to the best student work presented at the Student Research Session, and the other will be awarded to the best student work presented at a traditional panel. The award has been endowed by Dr. Paul Douglas Newman, a PHA member since 1993, Council Member, and prior Editor of Pennsylvania History in honor of his parents Margaret L. Magruder-Newman and F. Douglas Newman. The first awards were presented October 27, 2023, at the PHA annual meeting in Harrisburg.
