Who's Who of Brooklyn Township History!   DVD / Video / Oral Histories        Updated April 2008

Interviews of members of some of individuals that provided public service to the area were conducted over a number of years and continue at this time.  Most were captured on video / audio tape and / or also transcribed to a text format.  We now plan to convert these media records to DVD formats soon.
