PREFACE
This publication is the result of an investigation to determine what artifacts and archivesand sites with relevance to medical history are in the possession of the many historical societies inthe State of New Jersey. Assuming that there was a significant amount of these items and places, itwas considered to be a worthwhile project for the Medical History Society of New Jersey (MHSNJ)to conduct a survey to ascertain what these "resources" are and where they are located, and thenmake this information public.
Through the kind cooperation and encouragement of Bernard Bush, MLS, and Dorothy E.Pietrowski, then President and Membership Chair, respectively, of the League of Historical Societ-ies of New Jersey (LHSNJ), 265 historical societies and other organizations affiliated with theLHSNJ, were canvassed for what they might have which would be applicable for the intendeddirectory. In due course, several other organizations not affiliated with the LHSNJ but suspected ofhaving or known to have holdings which would be of interest, were invited to participate in thisproject.
Survey questionnaires were mailed and distributed to all member organizations of the LHSNJ.While only 18 percent werereturned, almost three-quarters had at least one item which related tomedical history. The potential significance of the artifacts, archives, and other resources identifiedin the survey fulfills the goal of the project: the survey has identified and located resources forresearchers and others interested in the medical history of the State of New Jersey. This guide mayalso be useful to students and tourists who can use the publication as a directory of unique scienceand medicine-related places of interest not normally found in travel guides.
While not in the scope of this directory, collections of industrial organizations should bementioned. The holdings of pharmaceutical companies would be excellent sources for informationon antibiotics, antisepsis, birth control, hormones, patent medicines, snake venoms, steroids, surgi-cal technology, vaccines, vitamins and other medically-related subjects. The archives of such com-mercial enterprises may provide insights to their attitudes about health and medicine and certainlywould have data on their research, production, and marketing. In addition, the artifacts they haveaccumulated might, in a sense, be a material history of their accomplishments. C.R. Bard in NewProvidence, Bristol-Myers Squibb in Princeton, Johnson and Johnson in New Brunswick, Merckin Whitehouse Station, Schering-Plough in Kenilworth, and Warner-Lambert in Morris Plains arejust a few of these companies.
Also not included in this directory are hospitals. A number of hospitals in New Jersey havedeposited a variety of records with members of the LHSNJ or with special libraries and are cited inthe text below. However, some of them may still have retained certain files of historical interest orhave themselves maintained all of their archives and artifacts. They, too are not included as distinctparticipants in the assemblage of this guide but the reader should be informed of their existence.The Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville and the Helene Fuld Medical Center in Trenton areexamples of such institutions.
Only eight sites of medical historical interest were uncovered for this directory and aredescribed below. There is one other place not included in the text of this guide that ought to benoted here and that is Ellis Island. The United States Supreme Court, in The State of New Jersey,
Plaintiff, versus The State of New York on a Bill of Complaint, ruled on May 26, 1998 that NewJersey had sovereignty over Ellis Island land produced by fill. Such land includes buildings inwhich were located hospital wards for contagious diseases, mental illness, and other medical con-ditions as well as administration facilities. These buildings are in such a deteriorated state that, atthis time, they are not open to the public! The closest would-be visitors may get to the buildingsis the ferry slip from which they can be viewed.
Despite the litigation involving New Jersey and New York and the division of land andbuildings between those States, Ellis Island is owned and operated by the Federal Governmentand questions about seeing the medical buildings must be addressed to The Superintendent, Statueof Liberty National Monument, National Park Service, Liberty Island, New York, NY 10004 (tele-phone (212) 363-7772). Researchers may be interested to know that the National Park Service(NPS) has initiated a program to stabilize the medical buildings if money is available throughCongress and that the contents of these buildings are located in the collection of the Ellis IslandImmigration Museum (the main building where immigrants underwent medical examination).For further information, call the museum (telephone (212) 363-5801, fax (212) 363-6302) or thelibrary (telephone (212) 363-6307, fax (212) 363-8347). Records remaining from the medicalfacilities are in the possession of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) inWashington, DC. These include letters concerning shipping companies and diseased passengers;plans and blueprints for Ellis Island hospitals and documents about their construction; hospitalbills; and documents concerning trachoma and ringworm. Through this office of NARA, inves-tigators may be directed to other governmental or non-governmental agencies holding Ellis Islanditems of medical historical interest. The NARA web site is http://www.nara.gov and the telephonenumber for the office concerned with Ellis Island is (202) 501-5395, extension 329, fax (202) 219-6273. There is a Regional Office of NARA in New York City but the only Ellis Island recordshoused there are ship passenger lists from 1820 to 1957 on microfilm.
Four indexes make this directory as "user friendly" as possible: Index of Personal Names;Index of Agencies, Municipalities, and Organizations; Index to Medical Historical Sites; and In-dex to Artifacts/Holdings and Key Subject Words. Numbers following an index item are the pagenumbers of the society or library which contributed that name or subject; the item, in fact; may beon that page or a subsequent one for that organization.
It should be kept in mind that the information provided by a contributor to this directorymay only be a sample of what, in fact, that organization has. This is especially true for the largeand special institutions for which it was impractical for them to send a list of all of their holdings,and for us to reproduce it. The book collections of these libraries are so extensive that referencecan be made here only to the means of searching the institutions' catalogs, especially if there isonline access, rather than listing the books themselves. Among the standard abbreviations onewill find in the catalogs of such institutions and repeated below are: AD (autographed document);ADS (autographed document signed); AL (autographed letter); ALS (autographed letter signed);AIsS (autographed letters signed); DS (document signed); MSS (manuscripts signed).
The writer apologizes for any errors committed in reading, interpreting, and transferringinformation from documents sent to him for this directory, and trusts corrections will be suppliedfor future editions. It should be kept in mind that the names of contact persons, telephone num-bers, schedules, other related data and, of course, holdings are subject to change. Suggestions for
vi
improving this work are always welcomed. It is hoped that this guide will not be a static one-timepublication but, rather, it will be updated with revisions and additional information from the cur-rent contributors, and new entries from organizations, such as pharmaceutical companies andhospitals, not included in this edition.
It should be noted that this project began with a suggestion by Barbara Smith Irwin, MLS,then the Managing Librarian, Department of Special Collections, of the University of Medicineand Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ). She and Lois R. Densky-Wolff, MA, archivist for theUMDNJ Libraries, provided encouragement and major suggestions for carrying out the projectfrom the time this venture was initiated through its completion. As professionals in their fields,they provided invaluable assistance as readers and critics of the numerous drafts produced as theproject progressed. From the outset, the project had the approval and support of the MHSNJ Ex-ecutive Committee and start-up funding from the UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School's MorrisH. Saffron, MD, Endowment for the History of Medicine. Francis P. Chinard, MD, arranged thefinancial support from this endowment. Through Roberta L. Moldow, PhD, chairperson of theDepartment of Biology, Seton Hall University gave support to the project in various ways. JohnParascandola, PhD, National Library of Medicine, Public Health Service Historian, W. RobertEllis, Jr., BA, Archivist, NARA, and Diana Pardue, Chief, Museum Services Division on EllisIsland provided information on Ellis Island buildings, archives, and artifacts. Karen Reeds, PhD,Visiting Scholar,-Hitory Department, Columbia University, contributed information on the phar-maceutical industry. The director of this work gratefully acknowledges the contributions of allthese persons, the individual respondents to the questionnaire and the organizations they representto bringing this project to fruition. He sincerely thanks each and every one of them for withouttheir interest, assistance, and encouragement the data could not have been obtained and this direc-tory produced.
Publication of this directory was made possible through a grant from the New Jersey His-torical Commission of the Department of State. This funding is gratefully acknowledged.

COMMENTS Because of this society's interest in (although not connected to) the "NewJersey State Village for Epileptics", it is appropriate to include here thisinstitution which has some historical significance. Established in Skillman,Montgomery Township, in 1898, the Village was a center for the housing ofand caring for epileptics rather than placing them with the mentally ill. Iteventually developed into a self-sufficient community of over 1,500 patientsand a 1,000 acre campus and farm. With changes in the patient population,type of care, and direction, it was renamed in 1953 the New Jersey Neurop-sychiatric Institute and in 1978 the North Princeton Developmental Center.A large number of the original buildings are still standing although many ofthose are in serious disrepair. The institution officially closed on May 17,1998. Letters, reports, photographs, etc. concerning the Village have beendeposited in the New Jersey State Archives. For information about this col-
