Wanaque Library is committed to preserving the history of Wanaque, Haskell, and northern Passaic County. Our local history archive includes numerous clippings, photos and scrapbooks from the library’s collection, as well as many items that were donated to the library by the late Sam DeBenedetto. We are slowly digitizing our collection and enlarging the local history section of our website.
If you or your relatives or friends have documents, photos or items at home that pertain to the history of this area of Passaic County, please consider sharing them with us – either by making plans to donate them, or by allowing us to digitize part of your collection so it can be accessible to others with an interest in our area’s local history.
If you’re interested in learning more or are interested in checking out what we have in our archive, please contact me – stop by the library, call me at 973-839-4434, or email me at martin [at] wanaquelibrary.org.
Gratefully,
Mary Martin, Library Director, Wanaque Public Library
