LBI George Cunha and Susan Swartzburg Award
The award ended in 2020 when the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) officially disbanded on August 31, 2020, to merge with two other American Library Association (ALA) divisions. It was consolidated into a new, unified division called Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures.
The award honors the memory of George Cunha and Susan Swartzburg, early leaders in cooperative preservation programming and strong advocates for collaboration in the field of preservation.
The award acknowledges and supports cooperative preservation projects and/or rewards individuals or groups that foster collaboration for preservation goals. Recipients of the award demonstrate vision, endorse cooperation, and advocate for the preservation of published and primary source resources that capture the richness of our cultural patrimony. The award recognizes the leadership and initiative required to build collaborative networks designed to achieve specific preservation goals. Since collaboration, cooperation, advocacy and outreach are key strategies that epitomize preservation, the award promotes cooperative efforts and supports equitable preservation among all libraries, archives and historical institutions.
The Library Binding Institute used to sponsor this award.
