Paul Banks and Carolyn Harris Preservation Award
The Paul Banks and Carolyn Harris Preservation Award (known informally as the Banks/Harris award), is awarded by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association. The award was established to honor the memory of Paul N. Banks and Carolyn Harris, two early leaders in library preservation. The award consists of a citation and a $1,500 grant, donated by Preservation Technologies, L.P.
