To commemorate its 25th Anniversary, the Morris County Heritage Commission published the Directory of Historic Morris County, New Jersey, in 1995. In 1998 an expanded version of the Directory appeared for the first time on the World Wide Web. This 2004 version has been further updated with an even more comprehensive listing of museums, historical associations, archives, and bibliographic source materials. The overall format has been improved, making it easier to navigate.
For tourists the Directory is a museum guide; for historians--a means of locating
archival repositories; for teachers and students--an invaluable
bibliography. For those involved in local history and historic
preservation, the Directory provides a list of organizations whose
members share their interests and concerns. We hope this information
will increase people's awareness of the historical resources in
their community that they may arrive at a fuller appreciation
of Morris County's rich historical legacy.
