MARQUETTE The Marquette Regional History Center is seeking nominees for its 2020 Helen Longyear Paul Award and Peter White Award.
“Marquette County has a rich history and cultural heritage that inspires many to interpret, preserve and share it,” organizers said in an announcement. “As a history 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. 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,” organizers said.
