Nominations are now open for the 2027 Texas Digital Library (TDL) Awards.
The TDL Awards recognize Texas-based individuals, teams, and projects that have made outstanding contributions to digital libraries, digital scholarship, digital preservation, and access to digital content. We encourage nominations that celebrate the people and projects advancing digital libraries, archives, and scholarship across Texas.
Nominations are open for the following award categories:
- Excellence
- Individual Impact
- Outreach
- Scholarly Communication Impact
- Student Excellence
- Trailblazer
The Service Award is determined separately by TDL staff and is not part of the public nomination process.
Anyone who contributes to digital scholarship or the preservation, management, or access of digital content is eligible for nomination. Self-nominations are accepted and encouraged. Nominees and nominators do not need to be affiliated with a TDL member institution, and there is no limit to the number of nominations that may be submitted.
Nominations are open through February 5, 2027. Winners will be recognized during the Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL) on May 25, 2027, in Austin, Texas.
The TDL Awards page includes eligibility information, award category descriptions, nomination requirements, supporting documentation guidance, important dates, and the nomination form.
