Biographical Note
Paul Francis Franco was born on Feb. 14, 1893 in New York City, to James and Marie
Franco, both immigrants from Italy. The family originally lived in West Hoboken (now Union
City), before moving to West New York in the 1910s. Franco served in the U.S. Army in World
War I and was an active member of the American Legion after the war. Franco was also a
member of the American Friends of Lafayette.
Franco worked for many years as a house painter, and donated time and materials in the
building of a specially designed wheelchair accessible house for John Borella, a West New York
World War II veteran who lost both legs in the war. Franco also collected art, antiques and
historic ephemera, with a special interest in local history, as well as Napoleon and the French
Revolution. According to his niece, Gloria Carney, he taught himself to read German, Italian,
Spanish and some Latin. His antique collecting became so intense that his family urged him to
open a shop, which he eventually did, The Brass Key in the Bergen County town of Cliffside
Park.
Included in his collection were 25 paintings and drawings created by artist August Will,
who was born in Germany but immigrated to the United States and lived in Jersey City from the
1850s to 1910. Franco lent those items to the Jersey City Museum for an exhibition in 1977 and
died on Sept. 20, 1978. After his death, his estate donated the loaned items to the Jersey City
Museum.
Scope and Content Note
The Paul F. Franco Collection is an assembled collection of Hudson County, New Jersey
ephemera spanning from the Colonial era to the mid-1970s. The Franco Collection is made up
mostly of paper ephemera, although there are a few photographs and artifacts. A small portion of
the ephemera are personal papers of the Franco family, and also some personal papers of the
Riker family of North Bergen. There is no clear connection between Franco and the Rikers.
The collection is particularly strong in several ways. Geographically speaking, the
collection is strong concerning items from West New York, where Franco spent most of his life,
Page | 2
and Jersey City, the county seat. The political ephemera from West New York is especially
robust because it contains handbills, broadsides and other political mailings for the local
elections in the first half of the twentieth century – items that illustrate the down and dirty
political battles that Hudson County is famous – or really, infamous – for. As a WWI veteran,
Franco also collected a wealth of material by and about West New York’s American Legion Post
15, named for Charles Cusick, a native West New Yorker who died in action during the war.
Newspaper clippings from the Hudson Dispatch’s “From By-Gone Days of Old Hudson
County” feature from the 1910s-20s illuminate some of the history of Jersey City, Hoboken and
the North Hudson towns. The clippings are a potential gold mine for genealogists and local
historians, where published histories fall short. These clippings, however, should be handled with
care or use copies made as needed due to their fragile nature.
Not or hardly represented in the collection are the West Hudson municipalities of East
Newark, Harrison and Kearny.
Several municipalities referred to in the collection no longer exist under their former
names. In some cases they were consolidated by election, in some cases they are just
neighborhoods that are no longer referred to by name. In order to reduce confusion to other cities
in New Jersey with a similar name, it should be noted that any references to Union or Union
Township refer to the municipalities that existed in Hudson County.
Most items in the collection are likely to have some type of genealogical significance.
Due to the sheer amount of names contained within the collection, it is unlikely a full index will
be made, although a list of the personal names and local organizations found in the folder
headings are below. It is recommended that genealogical researchers search the folders of the
municipalities their ancestors lived in for possible connections.
Provenance Note
Paul Franco died in 1978, leaving his entire estate to his niece, Gloria Carney. At the time
of his death, Franco had lent the Jersey City Museum – then part of the Jersey City Free Public
Library system – about 25 paintings and drawings by the Jersey City artist August Will. In 1981,
Page | 3
Carney, as Franco’s executrix, donated the drawings to the Museum. Because the Museum did
not have archives of its own, it is believed that as part of that donation, the papers known today
as the Paul Franco Collection were given to the Library’s New Jersey Room.
A large portion of the Jersey City political ephemera came to Franco from Albert Bieber,
a rare book dealer and Jersey City resident who was very active as a committeeman in the local
Republican Party.
Arrangement Note
The items in this collection range from the years 1724 to 1975. Most of the material is
described to the item level in order to maintain Franco’s original order. Because the collection’s
scope is essentially about Hudson County, the collection is broken down into 11 sections, mainly
by municipality.1 Ten of Hudson’s 12 current municipalities are represented. Some material
regarding no longer existing municipalities have been filed under the town or city’s current
name. There is also a section for material concerning Hudson County as a whole or its
government, and items that pertain to two or more municipalities. There are also folders that
represent the small amount of material from the collection that is either unspecified or originated
outside Hudson County.
Restrictions
There are no restrictions on the Franco Collection, but it should be noted that a few of the
items can be considered racially insensitive.
