Emeritus Professor Max Angus and Dr Caroline Ingram have won the 2024 Margaret Medcalf Award.
The joint Award was presented at a ceremony on Friday 23 August 2024, announced by Hon. Samantha Rowe MLC, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Culture and the Arts.
Professor Angus was recognised for his book 'Too Far Out: An administrative history of the Ngaanyatjarra homelands' and Dr Ingram was awarded for her PhD thesis 'Women in the Court: An examination of women’s trials heard in the Court of Quarter Sessions and the Supreme Court of Western Australia, 1830 – 1890'.
These excellent works, plus a range of extraordinary stories from the State archives, were amongst a high quality shortlist for the Award.
This annual award honours the second State Archivist, Ms Margaret Medcalf OAM, and recognises excellence in research and referencing using the State Archives Collection, which is the largest archival collection in Western Australia.
Congratulations Max and Caroline.
