Archives of the Winesett Scholars
The Winesett Awards for Library Research recognize creative and original library research completed by Radford University undergraduate students. Finalists as well as the two winners of the $500 prizes have their projects and essays published in this online journal. Paper copies of the prize winning papers are archived in the Winesett Awards for Library Research Collection, housed in the University Archives. Prize money for the award is funded by the Winesett Endowment.
