Any topic relevant to the Society's library collections and programmatic scope, and coming from any field or disciplinary background, is eligible.

Our holdings include many collections that would be of use to environmental historians, including maps; landscape drawings, paintings, and photographs; local histories;
and agricultural manuals and periodicals.
