New Jersey and itsrich history are welcome!

All New Jersey . . . All the time!
BOOKS NJ Opens in Trenton

Capital city visitors can now browse the widest selection of New Jersey
books in print available anywhere at BOOKS NJ, Trenton’s newest
bookstore. Opening for business on September 17, BOOKS NJ is a joint
venture of the State Archives and Historical Commission. The store
offers lovers of state, county and local history access to more current
New Jersey publications than any other shop in the state. The shop is
located on the first floor of the Department of State Building at 225
West State Street, and is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays.

BOOKS NJ stocks not only high quality books, but also CD-ROMs,
microfilms, broadsides, videos and other media from more than forty
different publishers. Visitors to the State Archives, State Museum and
neighboring heritage tourism destinations in the capital will discover a
rich variety of subjects represented on the shelves. All pertain to New
Jersey state and local history in the broader sense—including genealogy,
historic sites and historic preservation, archaeology, cultural history,
and related fields such as environmental history, economics, sociology,
and public policy.

BOOKS NJ reflects the State Archives’ and Historical Commission’s
commitment to provide visiting researchers and tourists an attractive,
convenient place to purchase a range of New Jersey resources not
available in any other single outlet. The store features the
publications of the Archives and the Commission, plus the products of
well known publishers such as Rutgers University Press, Longstreet
House, Hunterdon House, Genealogical Publishing Co., Arcadia Publishing
Co., and major history organizations such as the State Museum, New
Jersey Historical Society, Rutgers Special Collections and University
Archives, Genealogical Society of New Jersey, Gloucester County
Historical Society, and many others.

Soon, web surfers will be also able to check out BOOKS NJ at
www.booksnj.com. The planned site will enable fast access to a complete
listing of all books and resources available in the store. Enthusiasts
of New Jersey history: please come and browse!
