Winners Announced for 2023 Schuchard Prize

April 28, 2023 - Alyssa Morris

The Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin has awarded the second-annual Ronald Schuchard Undergraduate Archival Research Prize to three outstanding researchers. The competition awards cash prizes to the top undergraduate research papers or digital projects created using primary source material from the Center’s archival collections.

On Wednesday, April 26, the 2023 Schuchard Prize winners were honored at a reception at the Harry Ransom Center.

“Some of you know that this is personally very meaningful to me,” Director Stephen Enniss said. “It was established by a mentor of mine, Professor Ron Schuchard…he’s the distinguished professor at Emory University, where I worked with him for 16 years, but a UT alum. Really, his own use of archives has transformed his professional career. His most recent publication was The Collected Prose of T.S. Eliot, a massive multi-volume set that’s a real work of scholarship and accomplishment, and his hope in establishing this prize was that the way that primary source research informed his own professional life, that it might also inform a new generation of students and scholars in their lives.”
