The George Davidson Medal is awarded by the American Geographical Society for the “exceptional achievement in research for exploration in the Pacific Ocean or the lands bordering therein.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Davidson Medal )〕 In 1946, the American Geographical Society received a bequest of $5000 from his daughter Ellinor Campbell Davidson to established the medal and a research fund to honor her father. The medal was designed by American sculptor Paul Manship in 1951.〔Wright, John Kirtland 'The Years of Henry Grinnell', ''Geography in the Making: The American Geographical Society 1851-1951'' (1952) pp. 14-70. — (Grady Press )〕
