Cundill Prize
The Cundill Prize in History at McGill University (or simply Cundill Prize) was founded in 2008 by Peter Cundill to recognize and promote literary and academic achievement in history. The prize is presented annually to an author who has published a non-fiction book in the prior year that is likely to have profound literary, social, and academic impact in the area of history. At a value of $75,000 U.S., the Grand Prize is the richest non-fiction historical literature prize in the world.〔()〕〔 In addition, two "Recognition of Excellence" prizes of $10,000 U.S. each are awarded.〔 The winners of the Prizes are selected by an independent jury of at least five internationally qualified individuals selected by McGill University. The Cundill Prize in History at McGill is administered by McGill University's Dean of Arts, with the help of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC).〔
When the Prize was announced in April 2008, Mr. Cundill noted that he “… was surprised to learn there were no major prizes in history.” He explained his affinity to history: “I am an investment researcher of finance and I think there is an analogy between the two disciplines – both study the past to understand the present and predict the future.”〔()〕
