The best map collections are archived on-line at Rutgers and Princeton Universities:
http://library.princeton.edu/librarie ... n/hudson/jersey-city.html

http://mapmaker.rutgers.edu/JCplat_book/Frontpage/

I don't have information on purchasing prints, you may want to contact them about that. The "Images of America" book series have several publications featuring Jersey City:

One more vintage JC piece that has been posted before on JCList (if you have not seen it)

It is a JC promotional video from when Whelan was mayor.

There have been other threads asking for Photos of old JC. Put wavz in the search box and it will pull up the old threads that have links to places to find pictures. (wavz is the guy on flickr who has all of those great JC pics)

Here is an example of a link on one of the old threads..

The Library of Congress has scads of Jersey City photos, many online in high resolution TIFFs and JPGs. You can download them for free. Many of the historic photos you see on, e.g. Amazon, are just these LoC photos that someone else has downloaded and is selling to you.

Try this link:

http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=jersey%20city

You'll can scan through a bunch of photos and, of course, you can do more precise searches.

Also, you might check the New Jersey room at the main branch of the Jersey City Library. If you see something you like, you can arrange to have a copy made for a nominal fee.



There are also some links to "then and now" pics of JC.

The New York Public Library has a phenomenal digital archive, including maps as well as photos - http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/ - putting Jersey City into the keyword search turns up 1000's of images, including the 1919 Plat Map (akin to the old Sanborn Maps) which showed my building in Heights was historically the 'Alaska Chemical Co.'
