Seems a big jump from late 19th century to today. Is there nothing at all available on 20th century history?
Reply - I agree, but oddly, I haven't been able to find anything. What I've been able to find is a pattern in most of the histories (books, webpages, archives) at Rutgers where discussing something being built, or getting started and anything between isn't mentioned until there is a change in the status quo. I haven't discovered any activity in the 20th century anything except for (a) it's still a museum upstairs, and (b) the geology department offices moved across the river, after other offices/classroom space moved elsewhere much earlier.--

"This collection consists of rare minerals, many of which are found only in New Jersey, were discovered during nineteenth- and twentieth-century zinc mining operations in Franklin and Ogdensburg in Sussex County." "such as those discovered during" would fit better here.
Google Books is a great resource, although I've found that several of the sources repeat what earlier sources already had. Much like Roman historians copying earlier historians verbatim.--
