CORRECTION: Provident Bank Donates Original Bookkeeping Ledgers Dating Back to 1839 to the Jersey City Free Public Library
23 Avril 2024 - 5:34PM
Provident Bank, a leading New Jersey-based financial institution,
is proud to announce the donation of its original bookkeeping
ledgers to the Jersey City Free Public Library. These ledgers,
which date back to the beginning of Provident Bank, represent a
significant piece of the bank’s history.
Provident Bank was established in 1839 in a one-room office in
Jersey City, and it holds the distinction of being the oldest New
Jersey-based bank. Its first day's deposits totaled just $227.
The ledgers will be on display at the Jersey City Free Public
Library, where they will be carefully cataloged, preserved and made
accessible to the community.
"The Jersey City Free Public Library is pleased to accept this
donation and continue our ongoing relationship with Provident Bank,
which dates back to the origins of the library," said John Beekman,
chief librarian for the Jersey City Free Public Library. "The local
history collection held in the Library’s New Jersey Room benefits
from the thoughtfulness of individuals and organizations like
Provident Bank, which take the time to ensure the records of the
city's past are preserved.”
"Consistent with our commitment to the communities we serve, it
is only fitting that we share a piece of our rich history with the
city where Provident Bank was founded in 1839," said Keith Buscio,
FVP, director of public relations & communications at Provident
Bank. “I hope residents will visit the Jersey City Free Public
Library to experience a part of Provident’s and Jersey City’s
past.”
