The '''Mainstream Historical''' category was one of the original [[RITA|Golden Medallion]] categories when the [[Romance Writers of America|RWA]] established their awards.

Because there was also a category called '''Historical''', it appears the '''Long Historical''' was a replacement for '''Single Title''' Historical.
