Bill Landis, Head of Public Services, Manuscripts and Archives at Yale University Library, nominated MacNeil's 2005 paper "Picking Our Text: Archival Description, Authenticity, and the Archivist as Editor" as his favourite article from American Archivist, saying "Heather MacNeil does an incredible job of unpacking the hidden assumptions we've developed as a profession ...".[2] In 2016 MacNeil was awarded the James J.
