Connecticut Landmarks

Antiquarian and Landmarks Society will rehouse significant historic archival and photographic collections. The society preserves and interprets four centuries of domestic architecture and family life through its nine historic house museums. More than 400 linear feet of archival materials, including letters, diaries, business papers, photographs, and glass plate negatives, will be rehoused in archival storage materials and moved to a newly constructed, environmentally stable facility. Grant funds will also be used to purchase and install archival-quality shelving in the new facility. Consolidation of the collections in a more central location will provide greater access to these collections for staff, educators, students, members, the public, and outside researchers.
