Home To Many Stories of Ocean County
The Richard L. Strickler Research Center is an invaluable source of information on the history of Ocean County. We currently have a catalog of more than 8,000 volumes. We also have a large collection of historic documents, maps, cemetery and census records. Our collection of Ocean County newspapers dates back to 1852. Newspapers are available in bound volumes as well as on microfilm. Our files contain records on over 500 families, vital statistics, and many family artifacts.
Our Research Center is open Tuesday and Thursday from 1 - 4 PM, and the first Saturday of each month from 1 - 4 PM. Research assistance is available on site, by mail, phone, or e-mail. Contact the Museum office at 732 341-1880 to arrange for research assistance.
