2010 Recipient of the Holland Award If preserving the story of American lighthouses depends upon thorough and accurate research, Candy Clifford is one of the main forces in the national effort to tell that story and preserve this aspect of America's rich maritime heritage. From her days as a consultant to the National Park Service Maritime Heritage Program from 1988 to 2001, to her current role as author and independent researcher, Candy has forged a trail of rediscovery that is unmatched in the national lighthouse preservation community. She compiled and edited the Maritime Heritage Program's 1990 Inventory of Large Historic Vessels, HNSA's first member directory (earning the Historic Naval Ship Association's Russell Booth Award in 1993) and the 1994 Inventory of Historic Light Stations, created an inventory of historic lifesaving stations, produced the Historic Lighthouse Preservation Handbook and created the National Lighthouse Heritage Web site. During her years of government service she also edited and finalized lighthouse nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and the National Historic Landmarks lists. In recent years, her Cypress Communications has published five books by Candace and her mother, Mary Louise Clifford, including "Women Who Kept The Lights," an illustrated history of female lighthouse keepers. She also has documented two Fresnel lens projects, written several technical articles, run a research service, presented on research resources at national conferences and served as an American Lighthouse Coordinating Committee officer and electronic newsletter editor. Her own place in lighthouse preservation history is assured; a 2010 Holland Award is recognition of her valuable contributions.
