The award recognizes outstanding printed exhibition catalogs and guides, and electronic exhibitions, produced by North American and Caribbean institutions.
“The committee praised ‘So Long Lives This’ for its outstanding scholarship on Shakespeare, his legacy, and the England of his day, all of which offer new insights on materials and topics that are frequently exhibited and discussed,” said Alexander C.
