Rare and Unique holdings in the CT Room at the WestConn Archives

Probate records, Fairfield County, 1745 cover

The brittleness of most of these editions below made any handling of them problematic. To address this, our volunteer, Jerry Shea, along with WCSU Archives staff have undertaken to have these rare editions scanned for their preservation and to make them accessible.

All these editions are discoverable via the CT State Colleges and Universities' catalog.  The catalog links to e-book versions and downloadable PDFs served from the WCSU Archives.

We are very pleased that this project makes these rare books so easily accessible, but also ensures that their content is preserved. 

In addition to descriptive metadata regarding each item, some items contain links to related material relevant to the book's subject.

The map below shows the relevant geographic region of each volume.  All the titles digitized are listed below the map.
