The Auckland Museum Medals are regular awards given by Auckland War Memorial Museum in New Zealand. First held in 1999,^[1] the awards recognise research achievements that have used the collections of the museum, public service connected to Auckland War Memorial Museum, and to former staff or volunteers to mark a significant achievement.

History

The awards were established by museum director Rodney Wilson in 1998, with the first medal ceremony being held on 12 November 1999.^[2] Prior to the establishment of the medals, former staff and volunteers were typically celebrated by being awarded an honorary life membership by the Auckland Institute and Museum.^[2]

Since 2022, the medals have been cast in bronze, featuring a stylised basket of knowledge design created by artist Marté Szirmay.^[3]^[4] Prior to this, the medals had a smooth circular design which incorporated a green and black circle surrounded by a grey band.^[5]

Awards

There are three awards given as a part of the Auckland Museum Medals:^[6]

Fellow of Auckland War Memorial Museum: this recognises scholastic achievement related to the museum collections and activities of the museum.
Companion of Auckland War Memorial Museum: an award recognising public service connected to Auckland War Memorial Museum, or another New Zealand museum.
Associate Emeritus of Auckland War Memorial Museum, or Associate Emerita of Auckland War Memorial Museum: an award given to former staff, research associates and volunteers marking a significant achievement. The award is typically given to former staff who have made major contributions and who want a continued link to the museum.^[2]

In addition to the three awards, Evan Graham Turbott was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015, having previously become an Associate Emeritus of Auckland War Memorial Museum in 1999.^[3] In 2006, Sir Hugh Kāwharu was recognised as both a Fellow and Companion of the Auckland War Memorial Museum.^[3]
