The New Jersey Hospital Association's archive is an archival record of the organization from its establishment in 1918. As such it contains historical information about not only NJHA, but its members, New Jersey's hospitals and their healthcare professionals. It covers New Jersey's health care policy, legislation, regulation and healthcare delivery system as well as a variety of other health care topics and issues. While some records exist from the early years of the archive, the bulk of the historical information begins after World War II, in the late 1940's. NJHA is the parent corporation.
