New Jersey Research Tips
by Dorothy Sminkey
Fri Jun 26 1992
-------------------------------
If I were researching early New Jersey history, and wanted to
avail myself of the best one-stop repository of applicable materials,
I would go to the State Library Building in Trenton, New Jersey.
There, within one modern building, are the State Archives and the
State Library...addresses as follows:
State of New Jersey
Department of State
Division of Archives and Records Management
Bureau of Archives and Records Preservation
State Library Building
185 West State Street, CN-307
Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0307
and
New Jersey State Library
State Library Building
185 West State Street, CN-520
Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0520
The New Jersey State Library is the published counterpart of the
New Jersey State Archives. The contained collections include maps,
atlases, genealogies, histories, periodicals, guidebooks, and indexes.
There are also newspaper clipping files, phone books, directories, and
folders of material and correspondence arranged by family name, as
well as microfilms of the federal and state censuses. The New Jersey
State Library is one of the two depositories for the State's DAR
collection.
As you can deduce from their holdings, genealogists learn much
by researching in the New Jersey State Library. I have done so on
several occasions. The facility is big, but, not crowded. Access to
the books is permitted...so, one can brouse and come upon "things."
The staff, in a word, is "outstanding." Most personnel will bend over
backwards to help you. Desks are conveniently located throughout the
library. It's quiet and peaceful, there, too.
The Camden County Historical Society at
Park Boulevard and Euclid Avenue in
Camden, New Jersey 08103
and
the library within the Burlington County College at
Pemberton-Browns Mills Road in
Pemberton, New Jersey 08068
are two additional organizations that possess much material relating
to early New Jersey history. I've spent time researching in both
places and obtained "good" data from their extensive collections.
