Congratulations to the Kane Lodge Foundation and the Lincoln Ellsworth Foundation for receiving the Midwest Archives Conference Presidents’ Award! The award recognizes significant contributions to the archival profession by individuals and organizations not directly involved in archival work. These two organizations have been consistent benefactors of the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center Archival Program for over 20 years.
Chas Cowing, representing the Kane Lodge Foundation, and Brett Wisniewski, representing the Lincoln Ellsworth Foundation, accepted their awards in Minneapolis on April 11, 2025, during the Midwest Archives Conference’s annual meeting.
