Directory of County Historical Societies
in New Jersey

This Directory is made available for the convenience of our visitors looking for information from other New Jersey counties. While these are county-wide organizations, there are many town-based historical societies and associations. We make no attempt to list those here; please contact the appropriate county association for more information. Where there is no historical association or society for a county, the government commission is listed as a contact.

If there are any inaccuracies, we apologize and request your help in gathering corrected information. Send any changes or omissions to the Librarian, Monmouth County Historical Association, 70 Court Street, Freehold, New Jersey 07728-1795. You can also send changes and corrections to us via email, at mchalib@excite.com.
