The University of Connecticut’s Archives & Special Collections holds many collections related to Connecticut history. This guide provides a curated selection of published materials, manuscript collections, and digitized materials available in the CTDA that provide insights into Connecticut history and culture. The guide is meant to provide a starting point for research into Connecticut history and culture collections in UConn's Archives & Special Collections--it is not a comprehensive listing of all materials related to these topics held by the UConn Archives & Special Collections. 

Several pages of this guide draw from previous work done by Archives & Special Collections staff and student workers presented through Collection Spotlights hosted on the Archives & Special Collections blog. These posts are linked throughout the guide, and can provide you with additional information and resources on the topics covered on the guide.
