The Philadelphia Award Records Collection 3081 The Philadelphia Award Records, 1899-2008 34 boxes, 28 vols., 14.7 lin. feet Collection 3081 Abstract Known as the Nobel Prize of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Award was established by Edward Bok in 1921 to honor those who made the community of Philadelphia prosperous through their service. The New York Times has said that it is the “greatest honor Philadelphia can bestow.” Edward Bok was born in the Netherlands in 1863 and moved with his family to Brooklyn, New York several years later. After working as a clerk for Western Union Telegraph Company, he embarked on a long career in publishing. Initially, he initially was an advertising manager for Charles Scribner’s Sons, where he founded The Brooklyn Magazine . His hard work caught the eye of Philadelphia publisher Cyrus Curtis, whose Ladies’ Home Journal had become one of the nation’s leading publications. In 1889, Curtis invited Bok to be the editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal , a position that he would hold until 1919.
