The Newark History Society has received two new project grants to fund ongoing work on the Newark Archives Project database during 2021 and 2022. The New Jersey Historical Commission made a $20,000 grant for FY2022, and the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities, awarded a $5,000 COVID-19 Response Grant, with funding made possible through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Overall, the Society has raised more than $300,000 for the Newark Archives Project since 2009.
On November 14, 2017, the Newark History Society celebrated its 15th anniversary with a gala reception at The Newark Public Library for over 200 people. The Society presented its Outstanding Newark Scholar Award to Warren Grover, author of Nazis in Newark. Timothy J. Crist delivered the Society’s Paul Stellhorn Lecture on “Historians, Civic Memory, and the Story of Newark.”
At the 2012 New Jersey Forum on November 17, 2012, the New Jersey Historical Commission presented its Award of Recognition to the Newark History Society “for Outstanding Service to Public Knowledge and Preservation of the History of New Jersey”. Ronald Becker, Head of Special Collections and University Archives at Rutgers in New Brunswick, made the presentation to the Society on behalf of NJHC.
