I am very grateful to colleagues in several New Jersey institutions for their help in arranging permission to reproduce works of art on this web site. Foremost among them are Scott Hankins at The Newark Museum; Toni Liquori at The Montclair Art Museum; and Tim Decker and Chad Leinaweaver at The New Jersey Historical Society.
It would be impossible to list all the artists and photographers who have allowed me to use their work. A few whose photographs appear on numerous pages include: Dan Beards (architecture) Jay Doyle (clocks), Frank L. Greenagel (churches), David Kane (gravestones), LighthouseFriends.com (lighthouses), Raymond C. Martin, Jr. (bridges and tunnels), Gary Nigh (architecture), Anthony Olszewski (architecture), Douglas Petersen (sculpture), and Neil Ralley and Leon Yost (stained glass windows). I have thanked the rest in the form of credit lines appearing under their photographs. I would like to reiterate how grateful I am to all of you.
A number of art galleries, auction houses, and dealers have also been very generous in allowing me to copy images from their web sites. The most frequent contributors have been Shannons Fine Art Auctioneers, New Milford, Connecticut; and Pook & Pook, Inc., Auctioneers & Appraisers, Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Others include Rago Arts and Auction Center, Lambertville, NJ; Hollis Taggart Gallery, New York City; Laurel Antiques, Buston, Maine; Wheaton Village, Millville, NJ; and many others. All of you have my gratitude.
The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) is in a class by itself. My thanks to Barbara Franchi at Nostalgia Factory, and Susan Zennario at Stockton, for helping me obtain permission to use those images.
For assistance with questions on architecture I would like to thank Meredith Bzdak, architectural historian with Farewell Mills Gatsch Architects, Princeton, and Robert W. Craig, Historic Preservation Office, Trenton.
Special thanks are due Phil Polsinelli at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, who designed the web site and got the database up and running. David Vickery, instructional designer at Stockton, was also very helpful in helping me get started.
I am very grateful to my employer and to the members of the Grants Committee for the Distinguished Faculty Fellowship and other research grants that supported the initial phases of this project.
Last, but not least, I would like to thank the students who have researched and written so many pages for this site. Most took my class “Art of New Jersey,” although a few signed up for independent studies. The student assistants who helped with so much of the early work are Michele Brophy (Fall 2003), Amy Martina (Spring 2004), and Erin Brown (Summer 2004). My thanks to all of you.
