GSBC Extra!
The North Jersey History & Genealogy Center
Presented by James Lewis, MLIS
The North Jersey History & Genealogy Center in Morristown, New Jersey, holds an exceptional collection of material documenting New Jersey and early American history, including publications, maps, historical newspapers, photographs and postcards, original manuscript and archival material, rare books, fine art, and prints. The Center also holds one of the finest collection of genealogical resources in New Jersey, including family histories, church and burial records, published birth and death notices, state and federal census records, oral histories, as well as access to numerous genealogical databases in our Reading Room.
Most manuscript collections have online finding aids that provide detailed descriptions of the records, and our other collections can be searched through the Library’s catalog and indices. Join us for this presentation and learn about all the family and history treasures that wait for you.

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.
