Awards
NCPHS presents awards each spring for outstanding books or other projects on church history. Has your congregation compiled or published a history, made a history quilt, or established a history collection? Don’t keep it a secret! Document it, and let us know. If you know of a recently published church history or a completed history project that you feel is worthy of consideration for an award, please send the book or a description of the project to the Awards Chairman by two weeks before the Spring Tour.
About the Awards Program
The NCPHS awards program has been recognizing outstanding congregational history projects since 1968. Awards may be given for published church histories, historical sketches, anniversary publications, and other significant projects that preserve and share the stories of North Carolina’s Presbyterian congregations.
