Awards and Grants
- — Established in 1968 to recognize extraordinary service to and support of The State Historical Society of Missouri, the Distinguished Service Award has honored officers, trustees, volunteers, and staff members. It is the highest honor bestowed by the Society.
- — The Richard S. Brownlee Fund honors the Society’s executive director, 1960-1985. Historically, Brownlee Awards have been made to individuals and organizations proposing to write publications about, or otherwise document, the history of Missouri and its citizens. This year, because 2011 marks the beginning year of the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War (1861-65), the Society invites applications that support observance of this important period in our past.
