The New Jersey Public Records and Archive, housed with the state's Division of Archives & Records Management, contains thousands of documents related to the state's history and development dating back to the colonial period. Visitors interested in using their facilities will want to peruse the various sections on the homepage that offer information about their services and hours of operations. Most visitors will want to proceed directly to the "State Archives" section, which includes a number of fine online digital archives. Historians and others will enjoy such collections as those that contain images of the Morris Canal in 1903 and state government offices in Trenton from 1938. Visitors will also want to check out the current and archived issues of the New Jersey Gazette made available on the site. Here interested parties can learn about current and past history and preservation projects initiated by the New Jersey State Archives, the New Jersey Historical Commission, and the New Jersey Historic Trust.
