The Paul Banks and Carolyn Harris Preservation Award (known informally as the Banks/Harris award), was awarded annually by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association, from 2001 to 2020.[1][2] The award was established to honor the memory of Paul N. Banks and Carolyn Harris, two early leaders in library preservation.[3]

The award consists of a citation and a $1,500 grant donated by Preservation Technologies, L.P. The award recognizes the contribution of a professional preservation specialist who has been active in the field of preservation or conservation for library or archival materials.[2] Winners are chosen based on their accomplishments in preservation leadership, including activities such as leadership in professional associations, training and mentoring in the preservation field, development of new methods and techniques, and significant contributions to literature.[1]
