A History Told Through Postcards
by Late Member Doug D'Avino
The Society is indebted to the late Doug D'Avino for having shared his collection of postcards featuring New Jersey post offices from over the years. Doug cataloged and provided descriptions for hundreds of New Jersey post offices – his hobby and invaluable legacy. Any additional information, corrections or more refined locations (street names) of post offices may be emailed to Warren Plank, NJPHS Webmaster. Information on post offices in the album that have recently become discontinued or dead post offices (DPOs) would also be welcome.

Covers of Judge Caleb Valentine
by Robert Livingstone
Judge Caleb Hazen Valentine was my wife's great-great-great-grandfather and the letters that I have are family pieces that make me feel more like a temporary custodian than the owner of some valuable postal history. The article that I wrote for the NJPHS was Vol. 34 No. 3 Whole number 163 Aug 2006. For the most part, the letters are patronage correspondence that the Judge felt compelled to save. Some of the letters are more personal in nature but for the most part they are intended to sway the Judge on some matter or other before the courts or the state legislature of which Judge Valentine was a member for a time. Several of the letters demonstrate the earliest usage of certain postmarks. A few of the letters relate to Judge Valentine's role as a surveyor.
