greetings from nj postcardWelcome to What Exit?, a blog about New Jerseyana from Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries. The heart of our New Jersey holdings is the Sinclair New Jersey Collection, named for Donald Arleigh Sinclair, curator emeritus of Special Collections. It is the largest, most comprehensive collection of New Jersey materials in the state and one of the finest collections of state and local history in the country. The approximately 67,000 monographs, pamphlets, periodicals and serials in the collection cover broad subject areas.  Topics represented include state, county and municipal history, genealogy, religion, business, government, law, education, literature, medicine, agriculture, technology and bibliography. Due to its breadth and depth, the collection is an indispensable resource for research on any aspect of New Jersey, past or present.
