The Roebling Award
John Augustus Roebling Award for Contributions to Industrial Archeology
The “John Augustus Roebling Award for Contributions to Industrial Archeology” is presented by the Roebling Chapter of the Society for Industrial Archeology in recognition of an individual, group, or organization that has made an outstanding contribution to documenting or preserving the industrial heritage of the greater New York-New Jersey area. The award is presented annually at the Roebling Chapter’s Great Falls Symposium, unless the Award Committee determines that no worthy recipient is available that year. The award recipient must have either displayed an extraordinary effort in attempting to save or preserve a site of industrial or engineering interest or created unique or outstanding documentation through archeological research, photography, written history, or other means that provides a record of a site of industrial or engineering interest. The nominee need not be a Roebling Chapter member. If the award is to be made to an individual, that individual must be alive at the time he or she is selected as the award recipient. The award includes a citation read at the symposium, a framed certificate and a cash award of $250.
The Award Committee consists of three chapter members in good standing appointed by the Chapter’s President. The committee serves a staggered three year term. The committee member in their third year serves as Chair, and then rotates off the committee. To date Ed Rutsch, Mike Raber, Mary Habstritt, Conrad Milster, George Bulow, Ulana Zakalak, Sandy Malter, Clifford Zink and Ingrid Wuebber have served on the Award Committee.
