Please come and visit us! Do note that we do not have the facilities or personnel for genealogical research. The Newark Public Library has important collections on the state's history. Also, the National Archives Northeast Branch at 201 Varick Street (on the corner of Varick and Houston Streets) has complete microfilm records of the manuscript census records, indispensable for genealogical inquiries.
