The NJ Maritime Museum has collected or been given a wealth of information on several subjects, often not necessarily about maritime history. We have photo histories of Atlantic City, Beach Haven, LBI, several local families, historic events, natural disasters, and on and on. This information is organized in 257 notebooks that are available for visitor review in the Presentation Room. A list of the notebooks currently available is shown here. As with everything at the Museum, this list is subject to additions.
