AFRICAN STUDIES COLLECTION
AMAURY TALBOT PRIZE FOR
ANTROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN AFRICA
Barclays Bank Trust Company found the prize in 1960 with a cash award of

dealing with any area of Africa are considered; however, preference is given
to submissions from Nigeria and West Africa. The review committee members
are selected from the Royal Anthropological Institute on behalf of the
Bank trustees.
