Local History Room Finding Aid

The Willingboro, New Jersey Local History Collection

 In Memory of Rev. Dr. Efiong S. Utuk

 Arranged and Described By Leah Gass, David Koch, and Jessica Piper

 I. INTRODUCTION

The Willingboro Public Library serves as the primary repository for the Willingboro Local History Collection. The major emphasis of the Local History Collection is historical and current information about the Township of Willingboro, New Jersey. Subject areas include early settlers, recent immigrants, ethnic groups, development by Levitt & Sons, business, work, prominent individuals and events. Township government, local individuals, groups and organizations, and the Willingboro Public Library all are responsible for generating materials included in the collection.

Extent: Approximately 20 cubic feet. It is important to note that this collection will continue to grow as more materials are generated in the months and years to come. 

Access: The purpose of the Willingboro Local History Collection is to preserve materials that document the history of Willingboro and to make these materials available to researchers and the general public. The library holds these materials in trust for future generations and therefore, for preservation reasons, materials can only be used in the library.

Tour of the collection may be arranged by appointment. Patrons will not be directly allowed into the Rev. Dr. Efiong S. Utuk Local History Room except when accompanied by library staff. Patrons must therefore make their request of local history materials known at the Reference Desk. Patrons must conduct research in a designated area. Loose-leaf paper and pencils are the only items the researcher may have out when archival items are being viewed. Photocopies may be made with the consent of the library staff.

Every Researcher will be required to fill out a search record form that will be used to document the types of materials being used and to notify the patron if any additional information is found on their subject of research.

This finding aid is available both digitally and on paper. To search this document digitally for a word, type the “Control” and “F” keys consecutively and then enter the word into the search box.

We would like to thank all individuals and groups who donated local history materials to us!

III. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

Dates: 1809- present.

Bulk Dates: 1960-present.

The Willingboro Local History Collection is particularly rich in areas which document the social history of Willingboro Township. Primary sources date from approximately 1880 to the present. Secondary sources represent the history of Willingboro dating back to the Colonial era.

The collection consists of a variety of formats including, but not limited to: books, manuscripts, pamphlets, correspondence, photographs, maps, meeting minutes, reports, personal papers, ephemera, floor plans, newspaper clippings, programs, leaflets, press releases, journals, registers, plaques and audio-visual materials including microfilm and oral histories.

Many researchers have undertaken past projects dealing with the history and demographics of Willingboro Township and these projects have resulted in extensive books, manuscripts and pamphlets represented in the Local History Collection.(Most Books in the Local History Collection are also cataloged and available by searching the Library’s catalog online.)

Township government is represented in mostly non-official municipal records, such as periodicals, recreational programs, schools, development projects, housing, land acquisition, copies of resolutions, newspaper clippings, and census information.

The history of local civic groups, clubs and organizations is also well represented by scrapbooks, photo albums, community guides, newspaper clippings, and leaflets. 

A biographical file of prominent local individuals includes athletes, artists, activists, former mayors and other notable community members.

The Local History Collection also contains some material on the history and folklore of Burlington County and the state of New Jersey.

Local History Room Policy

 

 

WILLINGBORO PUBLIC LIBRARY
LOCAL HISTORY COLLECTION POLICY

I. Purpose and Scope of the Local History Collection


The purpose of the Willingboro Local History Collection is to preserve materials that document the history of Willingboro, and to make these materials available to researchers, exhibition and the general public. The library holds these materials in trust for future generations, and therefore, for preservation reasons, materials can only be used in the library.

 

The major emphasis of the collection is historical and current information about the township of Willingboro. Subject areas include: early settlers, recent immigrants, ethnic groups, family, business, work, and prominent individuals and events. Materials on these subjects will not be declined based solely on language.

 

II. Guidelines for Collection

Formats

The Collection houses materials in a variety of formats including, but not limited to: books, pamphlets, manuscripts, posters, diaries, letters, maps, business records, minutes, reports, photographs, scrapbooks, and personal papers.

 

Methods of Collecting

 

The Library actively seeks to procure materials, and also depends on generous donations from the public. We will promote our procurement efforts through Township and Library publications.

 

Purchases, Gifts, Exhibits, and Loans

The Library Director must approve purchases over $500.00. Donations will be accepted provided that (a) there is a signed Deed of Gift form that legally transfers ownership of the materials to the Willingboro Public Library, and (b) the donor does not require excessive restrictions on use. Items will not be accepted on deposit except by separate signed agreement that is approved by the Library Director. The only exception is the temporary loan of items for exhibition. Under special circumstances, items from the Willingboro Public Library will be loaned to other institutions for exhibition.

Donation will be accepted only if the Library believes it can make good use of the material. In cases where the collection would fit better in a different institution, the Library will work with the donor to place it elsewhere. For example, the Library is not interested in collecting artifacts. If such items are made known to us, we may work with the donor to place the items with the state museum.

 

The Library Director and the local history archive librarians will make value judgments as to what the Library accepts. The judgments will be based on how the material fits with our existing collection, who made the record, what kind of information the record offers, what the potential use and limitations of the collection might be, and whether the library will be able to conserve, preserve, and make the collection accessible. The Library's decisions are not intended to offend the donors or to suggest that their collections have no value. The Library will urge donors to hold on to materials it rejects or search for a better institution to house them.

 

Monetary Appraisals

The library will not do monetary appraisals for donors.

 

Discarding Materials

Willingboro Public Library reserves the right to dispose of materials inappropriate to our collections. Options include returning materials to donors, selling items, and offering collections to other institutions.

 

Cooperative Agreements
Occasionally, Willingboro Public Library shall enter into cooperative arrangements with other organizations in order to preserve historical materials and/or make them more widely available.

III. Access

 

Access:

Local history materials will be cataloged following generally recommended guidelines. The collection will be made available to historians, writers, scholars, genealogists, and members of the general public who are engaged in serious research or just interested in viewing the collection. Every researcher will be required to fill out a search record form that will be used to document the types of material being used, and contact patrons if additional information is found on their research subjects. Tour of the Collection can be arranged by appointment or as part of the general tour of the Library.

 

Patrons will not be directly allowed into the local history room, except when they are accompanied by library staff; patrons would have to make their request of local history material known at the Reference Desk. Patrons will be required to view materials in a designated research area. Loose-leaf paper and soft lead pencils are the only items allowed in the research area when archival materials are being viewed. Patrons should expect more staff supervision for archive use than for general library use for both security and preservation reasons.

 

IV Exhibits and Displays

 

Materials approved for exhibit in the Local History Room will be limited to items with historical, educational, and artistic values to the community.

Exhibits in the Local History Room will typically be for a long duration (e.g. six months minimum) and shall feature pieces in the Library's collection as well as items loaned to it. From time to time, and subject to the approval of the Library Director, there will be temporary exhibits and displays of 90 days or less.

 

V. Reappraisal and Deaccession

 

From time to time, Willingboro Public Library will reappraise the collection.  At these times, deaccession of some materials will take place. The Library will exercise the option of offering deaccessed materials to more appropriate institutions or returning them to the donor, depending on the requirements in the donor's deed of gift.
