About the Collection

The Trentoniana Department’s collection of photographs includes the City’s earliest captured images of events, clubs, sports teams, political activities, public celebrations, street scenes, buildings, people, and more. They date from the mid-1800s to the present and are of various sizes.

Currently stored in boxes and organized by subject, the collection of over 250,000 photographs are only accessible in the Trentoniana Room at this time. Digitizing is currently underway and they will be available online soon.

The Central Jersey Genealogical Club scanned over 350 unidentified photographs in the collection, which are now posted to our Flickr page and also accessible by clicking on the photos below. Let us know if you recognize anyone.
