-----Original Message----- From: Joseph R Klett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 12:04 PM To: Subject: State Archives Website Postings & Award Dear Colleagues: It gives me great pleasure to announce that, yesterday, over 400 additional guides to collections were posted to the State Archives website <www.njarchives.org>. The guides range from simple box lists to complete finding aids with institutional histories, content notes and item-level descriptions. Among the new postings are four photographic image collections (see below). Choose the "State Archives" link from the main page (above the image), and then the "Catalog" link from the sidebar. Guides are linked from the catalog descriptions. URLs for the additional holdings pages that now include guide links are also provided below. In the "shameless self-promotion department," we are also proud to announce that the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference's Finding Aids Committee has named the New Jersey State Archives among its annual award winners for archival collection guides based on the posting of our online catalog and several hundred website pages and guides last year. The award will be presented at the MARAC Spring 2004 in Arlington, VA, at the end of this month. We hope to post the first round of Documentary Treasures and Searchable Databases this spring. I will continue to make announcements as new postings occur. Thanks go to DARM and departmental staff for their support of our ongoing efforts to expand the State Archives' website. In particular, I would like to acknowledge Archives staff members Veronica Meyer (webmaster), Lois Bredlow and Joanne Nestor for their excellent work on html mark-up, page design and scanning of images. Also, special thanks to Gary Saretzky for nominating the site for the MARAC award. Again, see below for direct links. Please feel free to forward or post this message to any relevant list-serves. Thanks and best wishes! Joseph R.
