This report describee the activities of the Commission from its establishment on June 24, 1958 to the completion of its work on December 31, 1964. It was the task of the Commission to organize a program of events that Would appropriately commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Jersey in 1664. I believe this report will show that the Commission effectively met its responsibility, and that the ~ercentenary obs~rvance instilled in the people of our state a renewfd spirit of pride in the New Jersey heritage. It is particularly gratifying to the Commission that the idea of the Tercentenary caught the imagination of so large a proportior. of New Jersey's citizens, inspiring many thousands of persons, young and old, to volunteer their efforts.

  • Nineteenth Century New Jersey Photographers Revision of Illustrated Article in New Jersey History, Fall/Winter 2004
    Nineteenth Century New Jersey Photographers Revision of illustrated article in New Jersey History, Fall/Winter 2004 by Gary D. Saretzky By 1900, approximately 3,000 individuals had worked in New Jersey as professional or serious amateur photographers but only a handful have reputations that have survived into the 21st century.1 Most of us have seen an imprinted name on the back an old photograph and wondered who that person was who took the photograph. Where did the photographer come from? Did he or she have a family? Was photography just a short-term vocation or a long-term career? If an address is also imprinted, when did the photographer work at that location? To some extent, this essayCwhich provides selected information about approximately 10 percent of the photographers known to have worked in the state in the 1800sCis a work in progress that aims toward a biographical directory of nineteenth century New Jersey photographers. Included is information about, and examples of, the work of these photographers, most of whom achieved notable success in their lifetimes. The directory will include data about all the photographers that have come to my attention with the help of numerous archivists, librarians, researchers, and collectors.2 This article begins with an overview of photography in New Jersey, on both the professional front, with a subsection on stereographic view makers, and on the amateur front, featuring the development of camera clubs. It will then examine professional photography in New Jersey=s seven largest cities, particularly the largest, Newark, which had numerous photographic establishments. (While some residents of Essex, Hudson, and other counties near New York patronized Manhattan portrait studios, they had ample and often lower priced alternatives closer to home.) Newark also was nineteenth century New Jersey's center for manufacturing photographic materials for local, New York, and even national markets.

  • Appendix a Plan Foundation Elements
    APPENDIX A PLAN FOUNDATION ELEMENTS 100 PLAN FOUNDATION ELEMENTS The following sections of the SGP consist of an in-depth discussion of population, housing, natural resources, circulation, historic and cultural features, farmland preservation and open space/recreation in Sussex County. These elements are designed to provide a substantive foundation for the policies and programs advocated as the Strategic Growth Plan. POPULATION ELEMENT The population and housing characteristics of the County, along with natural resource and economic base data will be reviewed as a prelude to linking them to statewide and other regional initiatives. Population Trends and Projections for Sussex County Analysis of the population trends of Sussex County and its municipalities will show where growth has occurred, and also relate Sussex County to its neighboring counties, including those in New York and Pennsylvania. Age, race, income, and other demographic characteristics are described, and population densities show the development patterns that have occurred. Then, using past trends and local planned growth, population projections are provided for Sussex County and its municipalities to the years 2010 and 2020. Growth Trends: From the early 1800s, the population of Sussex County was fairly stable for a century; there was an increase of only 7,500 from 1830 to 1930, to a population of 27,850 in 1930. Since 1950, the population has increased more rapidly, as shown in Figure 2. The growth rate was highest from 1960 to 1970 at 57.4% and the greatest increase in number occurred from 1970 to 1980 with 38,537 new residents. For each decade since 1980, the population increased about 14,000, to 144,166 in 2000.

Archives summer assistant Shane Wilson did remarkable research in the Archives and other sources and drafted most of the captions for the first 132 of the 163 exhibit items. Eugene Osovitz and Chuck Steiner of the Archives staff did a fine job preparing and mounting the exhibit, the latter also making numerous black-and-white exhibition prints. Randall Gabrielan, Executive Director, Monmouth County Historical Commission, was helpful in providing historical information and a photograph from the Middletown Township Historical Society, for which he serves as President. Portions of this exhibition would not have been possible without the collecting efforts of George H. Moss, Jr., County Historian, who either owns or once owned the originals of a number of the images in the exhibition. County Clerk M. Claire French provided encouragement and support. A grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission helped cover exhibition costs. All of the above contributors have my deepest appreciation. Gary D. Saretzky Archivist, County of Monmouth Monmouth County Archives Most of these photographs were taken by Paul DeNucci, the official Monmouth County government photographer from about 1973 to 1996.
