2025 PROSE Awards Winners Announced
The PROSE Awards, sponsored by the Association of American Publishers, recognize publishers who produce books, nonfiction graphic novels, journals, digital products, and reference works of extraordinary merit that make a significant contribution to a field of study. We are pleased to announce that Rochester History has been awarded Best New Journal in Humanities and Social Sciences. While Rochester History is not exactly new, being founded in 1939, the award guidelines state: “Existing journals relaunched under a new title/publisher must be significantly expanded and/or refocused from their prior incarnation to be considered for ‘Best New Journal.’” Visit the AAP website to learn more about the PROSE Awards and read the full list of winners for 2025.
