Announces
The George Louis Beer Prize
for 2014
The American Historical Association offers the George Louis Beer Prize in recognition of outstanding historical writing in European international history since 1895. This prize was established in accordance with the terms of a bequest by George Louis Beer (d. 1920), historian of the British colonial system before 1765, to be awarded annually for the best work on any phase of European international history since the year 1895 that is submitted by a scholar who is a United States citizen or permanent resident. The phrase "European international history since the year 1895" may be understood to mean any study of international history since the year 1895 with a significant European dimension. The general rules for submission are:

2. Only books bearing an imprint of 2013 are eligible for the 2014 prize.
