Notes

Selected OAH book prizes covering United States history. The live oah.org award pages are behind Cloudflare and return HTTP 403 to automated clients, so the importer reads archived snapshots of the official pages from the Internet Archive (id_ raw-content URLs) and falls back to Wikipedia for years published after the latest snapshot. Official pages list Past Winners plus Honorable Mentions; Wikipedia is used only to fill recent years.
