    As the Library History Round Table  "Librarians We Have Lost" project grows, I am reviewing links and find that the  Hugh C. Atkinson Memorial Award has not been given for many years. Has this Award been eliminated?

    I am attaching the Tribute that was submitted for him. He was identified as one of the 100 most influential librarians of the 20th century.
