City Historian Larry Barnes received his Volunteer of the Year award from the Batavia City Council at the start of Monday night's meeting at City Hall.
Barnes was named Volunteer of the Year earlier but was unavailable to receive the award.
The honor recognizes his many years of volunteer work as city historian, especially his efforts in support of the city's centennial celebration.
Barnes said the award was really a shared award and recognized the many people and organizations who have helped him throughout his tenure as historian.
