Electronic New Jersey was started in 1997, and since then they have worked with partners at the New Jersey State Archives and the New Jersey Historical Society to create interactive and engaging learning materials for teachers and students. The materials here are intended primarily for use by high school and university students, and they include sections on Paul Robeson, the Cold War, and social protests of the 1960s and 1970s. Each section includes a brief historical overview, along with a "Time Capsule" that asks students to choose materials from the digital archive here, and then create their own "mini-exhibit". The other documents included in each section range from oral histories to historic maps, and they really do a nice job of offering an entry point for close examination of each topic.
