Abstract: The reviewer describes the nearly fifty-year history of the DARE project. She lauds the completed work as a "treasure-trove" for word lovers and naturalists, and as a reflection of our immigration patterns. She notes that browsing the citations can be entertaining and enlightening. DARE's enduring value will be as a record of the "down-home' speech of Americans.

2013 Dartmouth Medal for Excellence in reference publications
Date: 1/27/2013
Organization: American Library Association's Reference and User Services Division
Abstract: SEATTLE–The winner of the 2013 Dartmouth Medal for most outstanding reference work, an annual award presented by the expert reference and collection development librarians of the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), a division of ALA, is the “Dictionary of American Regional English” published by Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.
In describing this year’s winner, the committee felt compelled to use words like “monumental” and “stupendous” to describe this invaluable reference source: the “Dictionary of American Regional English” is the culmination of extensive field work, attention to detail, and a lot of hard work. This project was begun 65 years ago, with penciled post cards and call ins to a radio station, and has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities since 1970, with additional significant support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
