The image is a scanned page from a publication or a magazine, specifically from the year 1979. It appears to be a news article or section related to the "1979 NEMA Publications Awards," which were presented at an annual conference in Salem, Massachusetts. The page is divided into two main sections:

1. The first section focuses on the awards and their recipients. It lists various categories such as High Budget Color, High Budget Black and White, Low Budget, Medium Budget, and special awards. The winners for each category are detailed, including the names of the authors, editors, and designers involved.

2. The second section is titled "PEOPLE" and features articles about appointments and promotions in various museums and institutions across New England and Connecticut. It includes details about new roles and changes in staff for museums like the Portland Museum of Art, Fogg Art Museum, and the Wadsworth Atheneum.

In the upper right corner of the page, there is a small photograph of two individuals, presumably the winners of the awards mentioned in the first section. The page also mentions a workshop organized by NEMA for the Connecticut League of Historical Societies, held on November 3, which focused on teaching local history.
