Association for Manitoba Archives Thesis of Distinction Award
Winners of the thesis prize between 1994 and 2003 were judged by the selection committee (Chair, Association for Manitoba Archives, Head, University of Manitoba Department of Archives and Special Collections, and the Archivist of Manitoba) to have written the best thesis completed in the Archival Studies program in a given calendar year. Those who have won the prize after 2003 have done so on receiving the designation "pass with distinction" from their thesis examination committee.
