Audrey Zube Jones Family History Book Award: Area residents may submit duplicated family histories, genealogies or other books with family or genealogical focus.

G.K. Haukebo Heritage Resource Award: This award recognizes other projects of merit which assist family history researchers in locating genealogical materials of expanding their research skills. Card indices, computer databases, exhibits and videotapes are examples of acceptable formats.
