InfoAge Library open to InfoAge members
We have more volumes than pictured here...this is a work in progress.
Click on any volume to find infomation on that holding.
The Infoage Library is the fourth located at the site.
The first was the 'Electrical Library' located on the second floor of the Marconi Hotel. Here Wireless operators could read books on the latest technology. The Marconi stations also had a inter-library loan system. We have eight volumes from that library.
The second was the King's College Library, located in the same room.
Third was the Camp Evans Classified Technical Publication Library located in building 9032.
Our library is located in the Belmar Station Hotel, soon we hope to return the library to it's original room.
Belmar High Power Wireless Station Electrical Library (1914-1919)
, RCA Belmar Station Electrical Library 1919-1923
Thanks
to Mr. John Etter, W2ER, of the RCA
Riverhead Radio Station we have eight volumes from the Belmar Station
Library.
When the Belmar Station was closed by RCA around 1923-24, the library
was
moved to the new Riverhead Station. When the Riverhead Station
was
close in 1978 Mr. Etter saved selected books discarded from the
Riverhead
Station Library. In September of 2002 Mr. Etter gave eight books
from the original Belmar Station Library to our library.
