Description

Provides a list of the Telford Gold Medals awarded from 1838 to 1867.

Abstract

Instituted following a bequest made to the Institution by Thomas Telford (1757-1834), first President, to be expended in the provision of medals and premiums awarded annually in connection with Papers presented to the Institution.

Gold, silver, and bronze medals were awarded from 1838 to 1840. From 1841 to 1852 silver medals were awarded, but gilt medals were awarded from 1853 to 1901. Since 1902 the medals have been of gold except for the award of a bronze medal in 1954 and nine silver medals for 1967.

The Telford Gold Medal is the highest award of the Institution. It may be withheld in any year if a Paper of sufficient merit is not available. It may also be awarded to an Author who has contributed an outstanding series of Papers, irrespective of any previous recognition by the Council in connection therewith.
