The guide was originally based on specific topics of past student research. Many of the groups listed here need more research and we will be adding more information as we can. Please contact us for assistance in finding resources for your research.
These are only a few suggestions. See also our full list.
Many subscription databases require a card from the Connecticut State Library for remote access.
See also specific groups in the sub-pages. These are more general resources.
Please be advised that some of these resources--particularly those created in previous eras--contain descriptions for ancestral, racial, ethnic, and gender identity that may be offensive or harmful to individuals investigating these records, and are considered inappropriate to use in modern times. The descriptions and treatment of historically marginalized groups, women, and animals may be upsetting. Also, please note that inclusion in this subject guide does not necessarily constitute endorsement of the views therein--we encourage investigators to use their own judgment when evaluating books, websites, articles, documents, and other resources.
