Newark History Websites I Enjoy

Old Newark

 The most comprehensive Newark history site. Old Newark focuses on both Newark's great history - mayors, businessmen, etc - and Newark's common history - diners, ice cream shops, and schools.

Resurgence City

 Great photo essay site. You won't find another site to make Newark look so good. The author is a recent Newark arrival living in Vailsburg.
www.ResurgenceCity.org
The Canteen This site is mostly devoted to historic Roseville. You will find old photographs, history, and a discussion board for people who grew up in Newark called Bodholt's Diner. The guy also has the most brooding Newark skyline image ever.

Newark History Places I Enjoy
The Newark Public Library The professional home of Charles Cummings is New Jersey's best public library and best historical museum. Not only a repository for books and periodicals, the Newark Public Library has historic exhibitions as well. 5 Washington Street, Newark, New Jersey
The Newark Museum The Newark Museum is not entirely devoted to Newark, but the museum includes the Ballantine House and features of works of Newark artists. 49 Washington Street
The Jewish Historical Society of Metrowest The Jewish Historical Society of Metrowest is perhaps New Jersey's best historical society. The JHSMW produces two or three road-tripping historical exhibitions per year. Recent exhibitions have been on Beth Israel Hospital, Weequahic, and Elving's Metropolitan Yiddish Theater. 901 Route 10, Whippany. Exhibitions travel.

 

 

Urban Exploration Sites To Whose Excellence I Aspire
Forgotten New York Newarkology has been inspired more by Forgotten New York than it has by any other site.
Detroit Mon Amour "The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit."
Buffalo Architecture and History An amazingly comprehensive site on notable Buffalo architecture. Also instructive in the area of architectural vocabulary
