Welcome to Local History

 Did you know the Local History Collection is an exciting resource for researching your city?
 Have you ever wondered about the important  people who shaped  the city’s history?
 Are you interested in newspaper articles written  when  you were a child?


   

Some of the collection includes:    

  Yearbooks    
  Long Branch Newspapers 
 
  City Directories

  North Jersey Shore Resort Era Collection
    Census, Robert Van Benthuysen Monmouth County and NJ     Collection and the Elsalyn Palmisano Monmouth County and     NJ Collection


 

Have you been thinking about researching your family history but haven’t gotten around to it?  Make it a New Year’s Resolution to interview family members in 2010!   Then check out the genealogy resources at the Long Branch Free Public Library!  We have plenty of introductory materials on the Lower Level to get you started.  Then take a look at the display of genealogy materials in the glass case outside the Local History Room during the month of January.  

These are just a portion of the sources we have in the Local History Room, which is open on Tuesdays from 11:00 to 2:00, or by appointment.  Contact Janet Birckhead for an appointment or for more information 732.222.3900 ext.229.
