Congratulations to Rachel Buchanan and Alan Atkinson, joint winners of the 2023 Ernest Scott Prize for History. The judges spoke of the “rich and wide-ranging social history” that Alan has presented in Elizabeth and John: The Macarthurs of Elizabeth Farm (NewSouth, 2022) and the “important story of colonial plunder and cultural restoration” that Rachel tells in Te Motunui Epa (Bridget Williams Books, 2022). AHA members Anna Clark (Making Australian History, Penguin Random House, 2022) and Frank Bongiorno (Dreamers and Schemers: A Political History of Australia, La Trobe University Press, 2022) were also shortlisted.
