Requirements
"The right of one author to quote another has
long been recognized by copyright law, provided that the quotation
is only a small portion of the original and that credit is given. "
"One paragraph from a book or long article is certainly fair use,
but one from a three-paragraph article would not be. In the latter
case, reword to avoid outright copying and give credit to the

The Harriette Merrifield
Forbes Award
& The Oakley Certificate
Of Merit
The AGS Awards Committee is currently
accepting nominations for the Harriette Merrifield Forbes Award for
2009, as well as for Oakley Certificates of Merit.
The Forbes
Award goes to an individual who has significantly
furthered gravestone studies in keeping with the AGS mission
statement. The work can be in any area or combination of areas,
such as gravestone carver attribution, gravestone conservation,
gravestone art, gravestone geology, exhibitions relating to
gravestones, and computer programming for gravestone study; also the
historical, archaeological, genealogical, or religious significance
of gravestones. Other acceptable subject areas are the iconography,
poetry, language, and lettering on gravestones. The work may be in
many forms, such as research, writing, videotaping, photography,
interpretive editing, organizational leadership, legislation,
financial assistance, and teaching.
The Oakley
Certificates of Merit are awarded to individuals or
organizations with much the same subject classifications applying,
although the scope of the work need not be as large.
Please send your nominations, including the
name, address, telephone, and e-mail address of the nominee and of
the person or group doing the nominating. Describe the reasons for
making the nomination, how the work reflects the AGS mission
statement, and how the work has benefited the wider community.
Include any clippings or photographs. If possible, have the local
Historical Society or Preservation Commission comment upon the
significance of the achievement.
Please send nominations to:
