PREFACE
This publication is the result of an investigation to determine what artifacts and archives
and sites with relevance to medical history are in the possession of the many historical societies in
the State of New Jersey. Assuming that there was a significant amount of these items and places, it
was 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 then
make 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 Societies of New Jersey (LHSNJ), 265 historical societies and other organizations affiliated with the
LHSNJ, were canvassed for what they might have which would be applicable for the intended
directory. In due course, several other organizations not affiliated with the LHSNJ but suspected of
having or known to have holdings which would be of interest, were invited to participate in this
project.
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 to
medical history. The potential significance of the artifacts, archives, and other resources identified
in the survey fulfills the goal of the project: the survey has identified and located resources for
researchers and others interested in the medical history of the State of New Jersey. This guide may
also be useful to students and tourists who can use the publication as a directory of unique science
and medicine-related places of interest not normally found in travel guides.
While not in the scope of this directory, collections of industrial organizations should be
mentioned. The holdings of pharmaceutical companies would be excellent sources for information
on antibiotics, antisepsis, birth control, hormones, patent medicines, snake venoms, steroids, surgical technology, vaccines, vitamins and other medically-related subjects. The archives of such commercial enterprises may provide insights to their attitudes about health and medicine and certainly
would have data on their research, production, and marketing. In addition, the artifacts they have
accumulated might, in a sense, be a material history of their accomplishments. C.R. Bard in New
Providence, Bristol-Myers Squibb in Princeton, Johnson and Johnson in New Brunswick, Merck
in Whitehouse Station, Schering-Plough in Kenilworth, and Warner-Lambert in Morris Plains are
just a few of these companies.
Also not included in this directory are hospitals. A number of hospitals in New Jersey have
deposited a variety of records with members of the LHSNJ or with special libraries and are cited in
the text below. However, some of them may still have retained certain files of historical interest or
have themselves maintained all of their archives and artifacts. They, too are not included as distinct
participants 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 are
examples of such institutions.
Only eight sites of medical historical interest were uncovered for this directory and are
described below. There is one other place not included in the text of this guide that ought to be
noted 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 New
Jersey had sovereignty over Ellis Island land produced by fill. Such land includes buildings in
which were located hospital wards for contagious diseases, mental illness, and other medical conditions as well as administration facilities. These buildings are in such a deteriorated state that, at
this time, they are not open to the public! The closest would-be visitors may get to the buildings
is the ferry slip from which they can be viewed.
Despite the litigation involving New Jersey and New York and the division of land and
buildings between those States, Ellis Island is owned and operated by the Federal Government
and questions about seeing the medical buildings must be addressed to The Superintendent, Statue
of Liberty National Monument, National Park Service, Liberty Island, New York, NY 10004 (telephone (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 through
Congress and that the contents of these buildings are located in the collection of the Ellis Island
Immigration Museum (the main building where immigrants underwent medical examination).
For further information, call the museum (telephone (212) 363-5801, fax (212) 363-6302) or the
library (telephone (212) 363-6307, fax (212) 363-8347). Records remaining from the medical
facilities are in the possession of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in
Washington, DC. These include letters concerning shipping companies and diseased passengers;
plans and blueprints for Ellis Island hospitals and documents about their construction; hospital
bills; and documents concerning trachoma and ringworm. Through this office of NARA, investigators may be directed to other governmental or non-governmental agencies holding Ellis Island
items of medical historical interest. The NARA web site is http://www.nara.gov and the telephone
number for the office concerned with Ellis Island is (202) 501-5395, extension 329, fax (202) 2196273. There is a Regional Office of NARA in New York City but the only Ellis Island records
housed 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 Index to Artifacts/Holdings and Key Subject Words. Numbers following an index item are the page
numbers of the society or library which contributed that name or subject; the item, in fact; may be
on that page or a subsequent one for that organization.
It should be kept in mind that the information provided by a contributor to this directory
may only be a sample of what, in fact, that organization has. This is especially true for the large
and 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 reference
can be made here only to the means of searching the institutions' catalogs, especially if there is
online access, rather than listing the books themselves. Among the standard abbreviations one
will 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 transferring
information from documents sent to him for this directory, and trusts corrections will be supplied
for future editions. It should be kept in mind that the names of contact persons, telephone numbers, 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-time
publication but, rather, it will be updated with revisions and additional information from the current contributors, and new entries from organizations, such as pharmaceutical companies and
hospitals, 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 Medicine
and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ). She and Lois R. Densky-Wolff, MA, archivist for the
UMDNJ Libraries, provided encouragement and major suggestions for carrying out the project
from 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 the
project progressed. From the outset, the project had the approval and support of the MHSNJ Executive Committee and start-up funding from the UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School's Morris
H. Saffron, MD, Endowment for the History of Medicine. Francis P. Chinard, MD, arranged the
financial support from this endowment. Through Roberta L. Moldow, PhD, chairperson of the
Department of Biology, Seton Hall University gave support to the project in various ways. John
Parascandola, PhD, National Library of Medicine, Public Health Service Historian, W. Robert
Ellis, Jr., BA, Archivist, NARA, and Diana Pardue, Chief, Museum Services Division on Ellis
Island provided information on Ellis Island buildings, archives, and artifacts. Karen Reeds, PhD,
Visiting Scholar,-Hitory Department, Columbia University, contributed information on the pharmaceutical industry. The director of this work gratefully acknowledges the contributions of all
these persons, the individual respondents to the questionnaire and the organizations they represent
to bringing this project to fruition. He sincerely thanks each and every one of them for without
their interest, assistance, and encouragement the data could not have been obtained and this directory produced.
Publication of this directory was made possible through a grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission of the Department of State. This funding is gratefully acknowledged.

military hospital in 1777 and, again, after the Battle of Yorktown.

COMMENTS
Because of this society's interest in (although not connected to) the "New
Jersey State Village for Epileptics", it is appropriate to include here this
institution which has some historical significance. Established in Skillman,
Montgomery Township, in 1898, the Village was a center for the housing of
and caring for epileptics rather than placing them with the mentally ill. It
eventually developed into a self-sufficient community of over 1,500 patients
and 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 Neuropsychiatric Institute and in 1978 the North Princeton Developmental Center.
A large number of the original buildings are still standing although many of
those are in serious disrepair. The institution officially closed on May 17,
1998. Letters, reports, photographs, etc. concerning the Village have been
deposited in the New Jersey State Archives. For information about this col39
lection, contact Karl Niederer, Director, 185 West State Street, CN 307, Trenton; (609) 633-8334. The Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey is working to
establish a museum at this site. For further information, contact Eric Joice,
