MARQUETTE — The Marquette Regional History Center is seeking nominations for the 2024 Helen Longyear Paul Award and Peter White Award,

The Helen Longyear Paul Award is given to recognize individuals and the Peter White Award honors foundations, companies, organizations, and institutions. Both recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation, or interpretation of the history of our area.

Marquette County has a rich history and cultural heritage that inspires many to interpret, preserve and share it. As a historical institution it is our responsibility to recognize those efforts and promote the achievements of people and organizations making history today. The Marquette Regional History Center began an awards program in 1984.

Nominations should be in your own words, reflecting the nominee’s contribution to local history. Please drop off your award nominations at the museum during regular operational hours, by 5 p.m. Feb. 7.

Award winners will be announced during the MRHC Annual Meeting on Feb. 26. For more information, call 906-226-3571 or email mrhc@marquettehistory.org
