C. Coleman McGehee Award
The C. Coleman McGehee Award was established in 1995 to recognize the best article written by a graduate student in the Virginia Historical Society’s quarterly journal, the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. The prize, which carries a cash award of $250, was created in memory of C. Coleman McGehee, who served as president of the society from 1992 to 1994. The prize is not given every year if there are not enough articles submitted by graduate students.
