New Jersey State Library Preservation Resources

Public libraries are often repositories for important local history collections and cultural artifacts that deserve attention and care.  Since librarians are the stewards of these irreplaceable collections, the New Jersey State Library has assembled a number of resources to help you in your preservation planning.

Don’t think you have a local history collection? Take a good look around your library.  If you have any of the following, then the town’s irreplaceable local history is in your care:

Newspapers, maps, photographs, postcards, oral history, archival records of local clubs and agencies, family papers, government master plans, municipal meeting minutes, fine art, private papers.
