In addition to guides linked from our catalog pages (see below), we have also posted our guide "Using the Records of the East and West Jersey Proprietors." The direct link to this pdf is: http://www.njarchives.org/links/pdf/proprietors.pdf Selected collection guides are now available online for seven catalog query pages listed below. Finding aids range from simple box or reels lists to detailed guides containing content notes, institutional histories and item-level inventories. Direct links to several guides of particular genealogical value (i.e., containing name lists and/or item-level descriptions) are included at the end. Please feel free to forward or post this information to any relevant historical or genealogical lists or sites. Special thanks to Veronica Calder and Lois Bredlow of the State Archives staff for their continued work on html mark-up. With best wishes for a joyous holiday season, Joseph R.
