Department Prizes

• History Department Senior Thesis Prize [book prize]
  
  
• Summer Museum/Archives Internship Award [given to a rising senior with an interest in cultural heritage management]
  
  
• S. P. Lippincott Prize in History [awarded for the best seminar-length essay produced by a Haverford student -- not necessarily, but in practice invariably a history major]
  
  The Lippincott Prize Fund was founded in 1917 by a gift of $2,500 from a beneficiary of the estate of Samuel Perry Lippincott '86. Samuel Perry Lippincott, a member of the class of 1886 (who never graduated, staying at Haverford for two years), died in 1915. He was the son of Joshua Lippincott, a member of the class of 1860 (who likewise never graduated, staying at Haverford for 2 years).
  
  
• Senior History Prize [based on grades and overall performance/promise as a history major/graduate school candidate; used to "spread the wealth" of departmental honors if that consideration is relevant]
  
  
• Michael Freeman Research Prize [given to a senior for the best use of archival sources in the senior thesis]
  
  
• Michael Freeman History 361 Prize [given to a Junior for the best History 361 paper]
