Automotive Historians
The 2024 Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot Award, Language other than English, will be awarded to one or more books published in calendar year 2023 that best advance the understanding of the history of the automobile in a language other than English. Consideration will be given to traditional automotive histories, including those focused on vehicles, manufacturers, individuals and events, as well as social histories of the automobile that examine the effect of the automobile on society, culture, and everyday life. The Award Panel may also, if it deems it warranted, select an additional book or books published in the calendar year 2023 for secondary recognition with an Award of Distinction. The Cugnot English Langauge and Language other than English awards have been given as separate awards since 2000.
Nominations and questions should be emailed to sahawards@gmail.com by June 15, 2024. Upon notice that an nomination is accepted, books should be forwarded to the Cugnot Award, Language other than English Panel Chair, Arthur Jones.
Any book submitted for Cugnot Award consideration becomes the property of the SAH, whether the nominated book wins an award or not. After the awards are made, all nominated and awarded books are sent to Auburn, Indiana for custodial care in The Society of Automotive Historians Special Reference Collection at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum (ACDAM). This collection is available for onsite use by SAH members, ACDAM members and ACDAM visitors, following reading room protocols established by the ACDAM. A Memorandum of Understanding is in place, between the SAH and the ACDAM, detailing their relationship and the custodial care of the SAH book collection.
