Malcolm C. Clark Award
Each year, the South Carolina Historical Society presents the Malcolm C. Clark Award to the author of the best article published in the South Carolina Historical Magazine, the Historical Society’s venerable peer-reviewed journal. The winner is determined by the Magazine’s Editorial Board.
The award is named in honor of Malcolm C. Clark, emeritus professor of history at the College of Charleston. Clark was a member of the Editorial Board of the Magazine for thirty years. He was elected to the board, known at the time as the Publications Committee, in 1968 and served as chair from 1976 to 1998. Clark also was president of the South Carolina Historical Society from 1982 to 1985.
