The information that is available is in scattered sources, not readily accessible. We propose to develop and publish the most authoritative and complete reference book ever published on the state, for general readers, schools, and public libraries. Need for funding Rutgers University Press seeks funding to develop the Encyclopedia and to price it attractively to the general public. The development will take four years and will involve 500 authors. Even if each author is paid only a modest honorarium, those sums will add up.
Funds are also necessary to keep the price low enough for general readers.
