The Newark History Society has received new grants to fund ongoing work on the Newark Archives Project database. The New Jersey Historical Commission awarded a $20,000 grant for FY2022, and then extended it through June 2023 with an additional $20,000 allocation. Also, 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.
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.
