Museum Publications Recognized for Excellence
The Museum learned that it had won seven Publication Awards from the League

Society reviews entries submitted by the League’s member organizations, which
include more than 230 historical societies, libraries, preservation commissions,
museums, foundations, archival groups, medical history groups, colleges, and
genealogical societies. The Hoboken Historical Museum won seven awards in five
categories, including first and second place for posters, first place for newsletters,
first and second place for calendars, second place for pamphlets, and first

who contributed to these publications: Melissa Abernathy, Bob Foster, Claire
