The Roosevelt-Wilson Award is given occasionally by the Council
of the American Historical Association to honor a public official
or other civil servant who
has made extraordinary contributions to the study, teaching, and public
understanding of history. Named for Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson—two historians
who served as presidents of both the American Historical Association and the
United States—the award serves as a reminder that history should
be not just the domain of professional scholars, but a living legacy and
ongoing
responsibility
for all citizens.
