Memorabilia sought for local history project The Waldwick Public Library has part- nered with Waldwick High School to build a digital, online archive of the borough’s local history. The library and WHS are requesting area residents to look through their scrapbooks, photographs, newspaper clippings, event pamphlets, and other mem- orabilia for items regarding Waldwick’s past. Memorabilia may be brought to the fol- lowing locations: Waldwick Public Library, 19 East Prospect Street; Waldwick Middle School and High School, 155 Wyckoff Avenue; Crescent School, 165 Crescent Avenue; and Traphagen School, 153 Summit Avenue. The idea for the project grew out of meetings for Waldwick High School’s 50th anniversary celebration. Erin Hummel, media specialist at Waldwick High School, and Lori Quinn, director of the Waldwick Public Library, decided to team up to collect artifacts from the borough’s past. Hummel works with students who conduct research on local history, and Quinn is in the pro- cess of opening of the library’s local history room. Two programs will be produced from one set of historical information. Items to be added to the digital collection will be returned to the owners. Memorabilia that will not be returned will be housed in the library’s local history room. This room, known as the Waldwick Heritage Room, was added to the library during the last ren- ovation. Library staff is currently catalog- ing information for public use. The room is expected to open early in 2014. Hummel and Quinn want keep the proj- ect rolling. They ask that residents bring historical items to one of the four drop off locations by Jan. 15, 2014.
