The original analysis of the star formation history in the NICMOS Deep imagesof the NHDF is extended to the entire NHDF utilizing NICMOS and WFPC2 archivaldata. The roughly constant star formation rate from redshifts 1 to 6 found inthis study is consistent with the original results. Star formation rates fromthis study, Lyman break galaxies and sub-mm observations are now in concordanceThe spike of star formation at redshift 2 due to 2 ULIRGs in the small DeepNICMOS field is smoothed out in the larger area results presented here. Thelarger source base of this study allows comparison with predictions fromhierarchical galaxy formation models. In general the observation are consistentwith the predictions. The observed luminosity functions at redshifts 1-6 arepresented for future comparisons with theoretical galaxy evolutioncalculations. Mid and far infrared properties of the sources are alsocalculated and compared with observations. A candidate for the VLA source VLA3651+1221 is discussed.Comment: Accepted by the Astrophysical Journal, 53 pages, 17 figure
