Coutts Announces Study Grant Winner

Coutts is delighted to announce that this years winner for the Coutts Nijhoff West European Study Grant, is Helene Baumann for her proposed study Pictorial Archive of the Germen Colonial Society (Bildarchiv zur Deutschen Kolonialgesellschaft). She will be presented with the award at the ALA conference in June. Gordon Anderson, committee chair of the award commented,

"Helene Baumann's project is a top-drawer example of the unique and innovative ways that librarians, in this case area-studies librarians, contribute to research and scholarship around the world," said committee chair Gordon Anderson. "Her work with the Frankfurt University Library and its German Colonial Society Archive will make more accessible to English-speaking scholars this extremely valuable source of documentation about an important period in African and European history."

Coutts Nijhoff congratulates Helene and wishes her success in the study. We would like to encourage all librarians who have an interest in Western European studies to consider applying for this extremely generous award.
