Sheri Check out this website for Rutger's Alexander Library Special Collections. It has links to info on the genealogical and manuscript holdings. http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/libs/scua/scua.shtml Also check out the website for GSNJ at www.gsnj.org for some information on our collections, which are housed in Special Collections. The Rutgers link will also give you info on library hours and directions. I think you can also find maps for parking. Street parking is metered and limited to two hours, I think. But, I think there is a parking garage nearby that you can pay to park in for as long as you want. Hopefully others will be able to give you info on hotels. I know there is a new big chain hotel right in downtown New Brunswick - almost in walking distance - but probably not quite. Also, there is another major hotel right by the Turnpike exit for New Brunswick. There are probably a host of smaller places in the area also. Good luck and happy hunting! Joan Joan M.

Also in the parking garage, at a point nearest the library, there are about ten metered spaces. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan M Lowry" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 1:03 AM Subject: [NJESSEX] RE: Researching in New Jersey > Sheri > > Check out this website for Rutger's Alexander Library Special Collections. > It has links to info on the genealogical and manuscript holdings. > http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/libs/scua/scua.shtml > > Also check out the website for GSNJ at www.gsnj.org for some information > on our collections, which are housed in Special Collections. > > The Rutgers link will also give you info on library hours and directions. > I think you can also find maps for parking.
