Join the NJHC and RevolutionNJ on Thursday, October 30th at The College of New Jersey for the 2025 New Jersey History Conference! This year’s theme – Memory and Memorialization – will explore what we in New Jersey protect from our past, how we reconstruct the forgotten, and the ways in which these histories affect our public spaces and conversations.

We are currently accepting proposals for workshops, full panel presentations, and individual presentations. The call is open to scholars, public historians, students, and members of the public.
