    Alex Poole's 2024 Justin Winsor Prize paper, "If I'm fighting for myself, it is so that whoever stands on my shoulders can go further than I": The Intellectual Community of Black Women Children's Librarians in the mid-Twentieth Century United States," has also been honored  with the 2025 Bohdan S. Wynar Research Paper Competition from the Association for Library and Information Science Education.

    I have added information on all the Winsor Award papers here: Justin Winsor Prize. 

    If I have missed awards or publication information for any of the Winsor awardees, let me know. I am glad to add  citations.
