The Association for Recorded Sound Collections has honored former University of Illinois Press Executive Editor Judy McCulloh with the 2011 Award for Distinguished Service to Historical Recordings.

From the ARSC site:
After an instructor at her junior college introduced her to American folk music, Judith McCulloh went on to complete a Ph.D in folklore at Indiana University. She spent over thirty five years at the University of Illinois Press where her most recent positions included Executive Editor, Assistant Director, and Director of Development. Judith was largely responsible for developing the influential series Music in American Life, which now contains well over a hundred titles and has garnered more than a dozen ASCAP awards. Focusing on figures from Jimmie Rodgers to Duke Ellington to Tito Puente, and on genres from classical to klezmer to country, the books shed light on myriad facets of American music.

Congratulations, Judy!
