Abstract Or Scope
The Wilton Historical Society Manuscript Collection contains diaries and journals, daybooks and ledgers, school records, correspondence, literary works, and the collected papers of early Wilton families and prominent individual residents. The bulk of the collection is from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but important items from the eighteenth and seventeenth centuries are also included.
This carefully organized collection includes the histories of deaf education, religion, Hartford, and the United States. It also links ASD's heritage and regional impact with its contributions to the Deaf Community as a whole. Among the thousands of items in ASD's collection are: Over 3,000 letters, including correspondence from the School's founders; ASD's Act of Incorporation, 1816; ASD Board of Directors Reports, beginning 1816; Documents relating to the first state and federal aid to special education in the history of the U.S.; The oldest book on sign language; Letters and essays by the school's earliest students; Over 35,000 photographs. The school's archival inventory was first organized in 1967. In 2008, the archives were relocated to the former Principal's house. Since then, ASD's archives have been significantly enriched by donations from friends and alumni. Collaboration with other historical societies, research, and new discoveries have also broadened the collection.
Collection consists of personal and business papers; correspondence, diaries, legal cases and documents, case notes related to the life and business of William Samuel Johnson including records for the Mohegan v. Colony of Connecticut case.
The Samuel Wyllys Papers, 1668-1728, undated, are a group of 88 court documents that include 6 cases of witchcraft (42 documents), 12 cases concerning assault and battery, theft, adultery and other crimes (35 documents), and 11 other documents related to prayers of confession and petition, lists of freemen, poor relief, taxes, and titles to Indian land.
