Abstract: The New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance was founded to encourage the teaching of New Jersey studies and to help teachers to more efficiently and thoroughly present the study of the state to their students. In the spring of 1999 the Alliance initiated awards to recognize innovation and creativity in teaching New Jersey studies on the elementary, middle, secondary, and college level. Professor Radick’s course “Only in New Jersey! New Jersey’s History in Newspapers,” looks at the history of New Jersey newspapers and the work of the New Jersey Digital Newspaper Project to learn how life in New Jersey unfolded in its newspapers. Students create “topic guides” modeled on those found in the Library of Congress.
