Bergen County Historical Society
The museum and library collections comprise the greatest survival of significant Bergen Dutch artifacts and documents in the public domain. The number of items in the museum collection (not including the library) is over 4,000. Some 600 items were damaged in the flood and its aftermath. The unique local focus of this irreplaceable collection was of particular interest to the folks at FEMA and the reason why we qualified for stabilization assistance.

We are moving forward with an appeal to raise funds to obtain a safe museum environment where we can professionally conserve, research and exhibit the whole collection.
The time is now. Please consider being a part of this quest.
