Ther Western Association of Women Historians (WAWH) will award $500 to the best scholarly bibliographical and historical guide to research focused on women or gender history. The Kanner Award is intended to promote the practice of bibliomethodology or autobiography in historical context.

Book-length submissions are preferred but substantial guides in other forms(articles, book chapters, internet publications) may also be considered. The bibliographical and autobiography awards will be given on alternate years, with submissions for each award considered for two-year intervals from the date of publication. The 2005 award will be bibliographical and published in 2003 or 2004. Entry deadline is January 15th, 2005. Entrants must be members of WAWH.
