Newark’s Clinton Hill Neighborhood History Project is a multi-year public history project bringing together residents and resident historians with academic historians, a librarian, an archivist and others to create a collaborative history of Clinton Hill in multiple, accessible formats.

The mission of the project is to engage Clinton Hill residents, under the guidance of Dr. Linda Epps and other professionals, to become public historians—discovering, celebrating and sharing the history of their neighborhood and rewriting the narratives that have cast Clinton Hill as less-deserving than other neighborhoods of Newark—elements of NJ history that have been underrepresented.
