The first formal meeting of HLA was held in January 1922. An ad hoc committee was formed for this award to commemorate the 50th anniversary of HLA in the spring of 1972. The committee recommended the establishment of a new award, to be called the Distinguished Librarian Award to be given in the April 1972 Spring Conference.
