This
series contains photographic prints, slides and negatives of views
of New Jersey parks, forests, historical sites and markers, and

three cubic feet of material was unfiled. Unfiled items which included
identification or could be matched to other views were filed under
the appropriate subject. Unlabeled material has been filed under
broad subject headings (i.e., Aerials, Buildings) and marked as
