Overview and metadata sections
Harold E. Pickersgill was an American jurist and New Jersey historian.
The collection consists of Pickersgill's correspondence, historical papers of New Jersey collected by him, and newspaper clippings. Included are correspondence with historical societies and individuals interested in New Jersey history; 19th-century speeches, including two Fourth of July orations given in Perth Amboy by Mayor Solomon Andrews; a description of deeds in the Henry Reeves estate; an unpublished, typed manuscript (carbon) of a history of newspaper publishing in New Jersey; and a typed transcript of board meeting minutes entitled "East New Jersey's Proprietors Journal, 1685-1705." There are also genealogical notes on the Jennings family of New Jersey and the Vroomans of New York.
For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
