Oklahoma Historians
H all of Fame
Sandra Stratton and Nudie Williams
By Larry O'Dell*
Since 1993 the Oklahoma Historical Society has
annually honored up to four inductees, both professional and amateur,
in its Oklahoma Historians Hall of Fame. Recipients are selected
on the basis of their contributions to the preservation, collection,
interpretation, and dissemination of Oklahoma history. These criteria
were first published in The Chronicles of Oklahoma 72 (Summer 1994).
To date, 105 individuals have been inducted.
Early honorees included Grant Foreman, Joseph B. Thoburn,
Muriel H. Wright, Edward Everett Dale, and Angie Debo. In addition
to historians, the award has been bestowed on artist Charles
Banks Wilson, Cherokee genealogist Emmet Starr, author John
Joseph Mathews, and Apache educator Mildred Imach Cleghorn.
The inductees are honored at the awards banquet held during
the Oklahoma Historical Society's Annual History Conference in
April each year. In April 2018 Henrietta Mann, Bill Moore, Sandra
Stratton, and Nudie Williams were inducted into the Oklahoma
Historians Hall of Fame. The inductees are featured in this issue
and the Summer 2018 issue of The Chronicles.
