Two History Groups Select Portsmouth Author
BUY THE BOOK from SeacoastNH.com
SeacoastNH.com editor J. Dennis Robinson has received two juried awards for his latest book Strawbery Banke: A Seaport Museum 400 Years in the Making, published in 2008. The American Association of Local History has selected the book for an Award of Merit to be presented at its annual meeting in New York in September 2008. AASLH is a national organization headquartered in Nashville, TN.
The book also received third place honors from the New England Museum Association (NEMA) for excellence in design. Written, edited and co-designed by Robinson, the book was published by Strawbery Banke Museum and Peter E. Randall to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the museum. The book includes a lively 400-year history of the Portsmouth waterfront and tracks the tumultuous birth of the preservation project often called "American’s oldest neighborhood. Filmmaker Ken Burns has called it "An important book about one of the best history museums in the country."
Grace Pierce, who co-designed the 400-page book, also received the NEMA award. The book jacket was created by Brown Design of Portsmouth, NH. Larry Yerdon, president of Strawbery Banke Museum, commissioned the project. The book is currently entering its second printing and is available online and at local bookstores. Robinson also received an AASLH in 2004 for his previous book, Wentworth by the Sea: The Life and Times of a Grand Hotel, now in its fifth edition.
