Morning Coffee: Get Paid to Write About Croquet

The University of British Columbia has announced an annual prize of $1000 to the the best research paper on a subject featured in the Tremaine Arkley Croquet Collection held at the UBC Library. The Tremaine Arkley Croquet Collection was donated to UBC in 2011 by Tremaine and Gail Arkley and it includes fine art from the 1850s to present. The collection includes oil paintings, watercolours, etchings, illustrations and other pieces of original fine art as well as photographs, prints, books, advertisements, comics and other materials related to croquet. Tremaine Arkley is a former member of the US National Croquet team. The collection can be viewed in person at UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections, or online at digitalcollections.library.ubc.ca. For details on entering the contest, view this PDF flyer.
