Archives and Historical Collections
For decades our professional staff has collected, accessioned, stewarded and interpreted items of historical importance regarding the history of South Windsor, its residents and the surrounding region. Our collections include but are not limited to personal and professional papers and correspondence, business and farm records, family letters and Bibles, town records, oral histories, journals and diaries, genealogical records, photographs, prints, postcards, maps, architectural drawings, speeches, lectures, school yearbooks, audiovisual recordings, unpublished writings, and historical publications.
Some of the collections have finding aids, which are available at Connecticut’s Archives Online.
You may search our comprehensive online database of historical materials, hosted by PastPerfect Online. This digital library includes thousands of scanned images from our historical photographs collection, as well as catalog entries for many of our holdings.
