The University Libraries records span the years 1961 to the present, with the bulk of the material dating from 1966 to 1985. The majority of records are from the George F. Smith Library of the Health Sciences, which had its origins in the collection of the Jersey City Medical Center. The GFS Library records primarily document the term of the Director of Libraries, Phillip Rosenstein, who served from 1966-1990. Material in six of the twelve series was transferred from his office. The collection is strong in the area of library publications, and in the subject files and correspondence of the Director. The subject files, which consist of business correspondence, reports, newsletters, news clippings and memorandum, cover a wide range of topics concerning the internal workings of the library and University, and the external environment of the surrounding community, including the New Jersey medical community. The correspondence files, which consist of correspondence and memorandum, show the position of the GFS Library within the medical library community, and the involvement of the Director in various interlibrary projects and activities. The collection is strong in material documenting the library in Jersey City and Newark, but weaker in documenting those in New Brunswick/Piscataway, Stratford, and Camden. Series G contains blueprints of the library in Newark and of the proposed library in Camden.
