PealCollection, LLC was formed in the Fall of 2004 when we realized we shared the same passion for our hometown and its history and that we both wanted to share that passion with others.  "Peal" represents our initials (Priscilla Ege and Alice Lotosky) and “Collection” was added when we realized we had a ‘collection’ of information and photos of Bayonne. Over the years, we have been promoting Bayonne through special projects in the name of the Bayonne Historical Society as well as for the Bayonne Town Center (our local shopping district) and the Historic Bergen Point District (the other shopping district located at Bayonne’s southern tip).  However, we wanted to take things a step further and branch out on our own by creating an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation) and work for ourselves using our own financial resources.  PealCollection also gives us the opportunity to give local history a slightly different slant – one that is informal and enjoyable as well as educational.
