The Prize will be awarded for an outstanding first book or an outstanding dissertation by a faculty member or independent scholar. The Prize carries a cash award of $500.
The next Bills Prize will be awarded for a first book published or a dissertation completed in 2006-2007. Please submit nominations (a brief statement will suffice) and one copy of the book or dissertation directly to each member of the Bills Prize Committee by February 1, 2008:

We are pleased to announce that the first prize was awarded at the 2005 PHS Conference to Michael S. Foley for his book: Confronting the War Machine: Draft Resistance During the Vietnam War (Univ. of North Carolina Press, 2003).
PHS hopes to make the Bills Memorial Prize a self-perpetuating endowment. If you would like to make a donation to this fund in memory of Scott Bills, send your contributions to Christy Snider, Department of History, 5010 Mt. Berry Station, Berry College, Mt. Berry, GA, 30149, USA. Checks should be made payable to the PHS, but clearly indicate that it is for the Bills Memorial Prize fund.
