Collecting Strengths
The emphasis is on local and cultural history, with manuscripts complementing the Library’s rich printed holdings in Americana. Among the largest collections are the papers of writer Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900), educator Henry Barnard (1811-1900), Hartford musician Nathan H. Allen (1848-1925), and the Watkinson family (1757-1873).
The Manuscript collections may be searched through finding aids at the ArchivesSpace platform.
