Genealogy Resources and Programs at the New Jersey State Library
Learn what the State Library has to offer to help you research your family history, both in New Jersey and out of state!
The New Jersey State Library (NJSL) in Trenton, NJ, offers an amazing array of resources for family historians, including the Genealogy Collection which includes city directories, family charts, genealogy research guides, newspapers, historic maps, and Sanborn fire insurance maps—and much, much more.
Regina Fitzpatrick, Genealogy Librarian at the NJSL, will discuss NJSL’s physical and virtual resources, our offered webinars, how NJSL staff is providing remote service for researchers during the COVID pandemic, and what you can access from home.

About the GSBC’s Recorded Presentations
The videos presented here are recordings of presentations given at GSBC General Meetings, GSBC Extra! events, RPL–GSBC Lock-Ins, and other GSBC events. They are provided as a service to those GSBC Members who cannot attend the presentations in person, including our distance-Members, and those who would like to watch the presentation again. We hope you find value in these resources—please let us know!
Note that not all presentations are included as some speakers do not wish to be recorded and others have expiration terms on their videos and/or handouts. (Most speakers also allow us to provide copies of their handouts after the video term has expired.) A good number of presentations to the GSBC—especially those with expiration terms or which were not recorded—are recapped in the GSBC’s newsletter, The Archivist.
Please note that videos and handouts are contracted for the GSBC’s use; these videos and handouts may not be shared, streamed, broadcast, or otherwise distributed. Our speakers are professionals who derive income from their expertise and presentations; all materials are copyrighted to our respective presenters.
The embedded video player has a number of controls where you start and stop the playback, fast-forward (click on the timeline bar), make the video full-screen, and more.
The player works with all current browser technology. If you have problems with playback, please try using a current browser or disabling any ad-block or pop-up blocking software.
