The types of documents in this collection include (but are not limited to) receipts, financial records, legal documents, reports, articles, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and correspondence. Some of the documents were created as early as 1874, but the majority was created in the later 2oth century. They consist of a combination of originals and photocopies. They pertain to the town of Montclair and its surrounding area. General New Jersey history is also included. Montclair’s African American history and the Crane family files make up the largest portions of this collection. There are files on individual members of the Crane family, and several folders dedicated to Crane family genealogy. This collection is limited primarily to organizations, groups, people, etc. Files concerning homes, churches and other buildings in Montclair are also incorporated into this collection.

Arrangement Note

The files in this collection are arranged by subject. The staff and volunteers responsible for the processing of this collection felt that this was the most sensible arrangement because the materials are intended for frequent access. The green hanging folders represent a general category. The manila legal-size folders within each hanging folder represent subcategories. For example, the hanging folder entitled “Legal Folder 3” is the third folder for the general “Legal” category. This folder contains a manila folder called “Indian Deed of 1703,” which is a subcategory. The folders that contain files on specific people are arranged alphabetically. All of the files relating to places are located in File Cabinet 4. The hanging folders containing these files are arranged alphabetically. This collection has been entered by file folder into the PastPerfect database. Corresponding accession numbers are listed on each folder.
