In 1975 two Western Connecticut State University professors, Truman Warner and Herbert Janick, acquired a significant collection of Danbury records (a mixture of town (borough) and city records). An official transfer of custody for these documents does not exist, but it is known that, at the time, the City of Danbury had earmarked the records for disposal. Through the years, it also appears that some records may have been lost, stolen, or discarded. A detailed documentation does not exist.

These Danbury ledgers were sent to Northeast Document Conservation Center for preservation microfilming in 2007. Some items were discovered after the materials were microfilmed; they are included in this inventory noted as "ledgers" and are available in hard copy.
