The award was presented April 26 in a ceremony at the annual meeting of the University's South Caroliniana Society at Capstone House.
Schulz has been the foremost educator of archivists and museum professionals in South Carolina for 23 years. The archival and museum education educator developed a collaboration with the School of Library and Information Science at the University to create a dual degree program that has produced more than 250 archivists, special collections librarians, records managers, museum curators, and other professionals.
Schulz also has secured nearly $2 million in grant funding for South Carolina-related history projects. She is the author and developer of The History of South Carolina Slide Collection and The American History Videodisc, A South Carolina Album, 1936-1948. Schools, libraries, and researchers in South Carolina and throughout the United States use both of the resources extensively.
The award is part of the S.C. State Historical Records Advisory Board's effort to recognize significant contributions to preserving and increasing the appreciation and use of South Carolina's documentary heritage. The board also recognized the Charleston Commissioners of Public Works and their associates with its 2008 Award of Merit for the commissioners' efforts to increase awareness and appreciation of the City of Charleston's history.
