  My book, A Space for Faith: The Colonial Meetinghouses of New England, has received the 2011 Award of Merit from the American Association of State and Local History (AASLH).

  The AASLH Leadership in History Awards, now in its 66th year, is the most prestigious recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history. The award will be presented on September 16 during AASLH’s annual convention in Richmond, Virginia.

  The AASLH awards program was initiated in 1945 to establish and encourage standards of excellence in the collection, preservation, and interpretation of state and local history throughout the United States. The AASLH Leadership in History Awards not only honor significant achievement in the field of state and local history, but also brings public recognition of the opportunities for small and large organizations, institutions, and programs to make contributions in this arena.
