\"exhibit<\/a>
Pathbreakers in New Jersey Politics on display on the first floor of Walsh Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seton Hall cares for fourteen archival collections documenting the careers of New Jersey politicians, illustrating the evolution of this state since its founding in 1787.\u00a0 In 2021, the National Archives awarded Seton Hall a federal grant to process five of these collections: the papers of Arthur A. Quinn, early twentieth-century pioneer in labor activism, the papers of Bernard Shanley, Chief of Staff to President Eisenhower, Governors Richard Hughes and Brendan Byrne, and first Black Congressman from New Jersey Donald Payne.\u00a0 After processing, these unique materials will be available to the public, enriching our understanding of the state we live in and the many people who worked to make it better.<\/p>\n

The exhibit includes photographs of these politicians, excerpts from their writings, political buttons issued by their campaigns, and most exciting: the daily diary kept by Bernard Shanley when he was Chief of Staff to President Eisenhower.\u00a0 The archives has a full copy of the diary now available to researchers, in addition to the bound copy on display.<\/p>\n
