Background
The award is named after Anton Aškerc (1856–1912), a poet and Roman Catholic priest, who was the first urban archivist of the Ljubljana. Aškerc was a pioneer of the Municipal Archives of Ljubljana, set up in July 1898, renamed in 1973 to the Historical Archives Ljubljana. Already 100 years ago he advocated and achieved some still-fundamental archival principles.
The Aškerc Award is given to individuals for lifetime achievement or to institutions in archival science for outstanding contributions to the promotion and development of archival science in Slovenia and abroad. Individuals of merit can also receive the award for multi-annual activity in the Archival Association of Slovenia (AAS).
In addition, the society recognises important contribution to archival science in the past year to a non-member or sponsor.
One Aškerc Award and, at most, two Aškerc Recognitions may be given yearly, but in practice they are awarded only every two years. The Aškerc Award and Aškerc Recognition consist of a diploma, a document, and a cash prize. The financial component is assured by the Ministry of Culture. By rule, the awards are granted on 9 June, International Archives Day, in the Ljubljana town hall.
