Facebooktwitterredditlinkedintumblrmail

If you’ve already read plenty of fiction this summer, how about some local New Jersey history? Here is a selection of books newly cataloged to the Sinclair New Jersey Collection in Special Collections and University Archives. All can be read by appointment in our lovely air conditioned reading room with views of the College Avenue Campus. Contact us at scua_ref@libraries.rutgers.edu if you need a break from the beach (or just want to read about it)!
