In 2016, the Friends established a research award of $10,000 to support a project on some aspect of the historical development of culture and society in New Zealand primarily using the resources of the Hocken Collections. The Friends fundraise regularly to continue making this Award.
Applications for the 2026 FOHC Award will open in mid 2025 and the Award recipient will be announced in November 2025.
