The American Library Association's
The Denali Press Award (1990-2000)

---

We are pleased to have sponsored the American Library Association's The Denali Press Award. This annual award was presented (1990-2000) to recognize achievement in creating reference works, outstanding in quality and significance, that provide information specifically about ethnic and minority groups in the United States. The Denali Press Award recognizes outstanding contributions, judged in part on accuracy, scope, usefulness, format, special features, access, as well as the gap in the literature filled by the work.

The award, $500 and a plaque donated by The Denali Press, recognizes reference works of outstanding quality and significance that provide information specifically about ethnic and minority groups in the United States.

Inquiries regarding this award should be forwarded to:
