The Eccles and District History Society has offered this Award for work in local history for over 40 years.
As from 2018 the Award has been made by the Salford Local History Forum, of which the Society is a member.
Frank Mullineux was a founder-member of the Society and he made a wonderful contribution to local history, so it is fitting that we remember Frank in making this Award each year.
The Award can be made for a publication, an essay, research, an exhibition or anything at all which promotes the study of local history or contributes to our knowledge of local history in some way.
The winner(s) will be presented with a suitable award of their choice of a value specified by the Awards Panel. Over recent years, the Award had been presented at the Salford Local History Fair which is held in September.
