The Episcopal Church





Nelson R. Burr Prize


     Each year the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church awards the Nelson R. Burr Prize to the author of the most outstanding article published in Anglican and Episcopal History.  This prize honors the scholar whose two-volume A Critical Bibliography of Religion in American (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1961) and other bibliographic works constitute landmarks in the field of religious historiography.
