Library of Congress American Memory resource site-The LOC has really gone out of it's way over the recent years to provide the public online access to original maps, photos, written works, etc. which you used to have to travel all the way to Washington D.C. to see. The map section is phenomenal: super high-res images available to download, and all original maps! A big step up from the LOC's site of 20 years ago, which was little more than an online card catalog.
Historical Marker Data Base - This is a wonderful site with historical markers listed for all 50 states, plotted onto Google Maps for convenience. The New Jersey section is quite extensive.
