RECORDS


A collection of documents, letters, papers, personal and oral histories, ledgers, records, etc., dating from 1700s to the present. Items donated by present or former residents, constituting an incomplete historical record.  We are in the process of sorting, numbering and filing (in archival storage where required) 37 years accumulation.  New acquisitions, limited to items of local interest, are welcomed.   We can scan and return your document if desired.


GENEALOGY


We have files for some early Tolland families, and will provide whatever information we have in return for a small contribution or in exchange for additional information you possess.  We would welcome a copy of your (Tolland) family research for our file.


LIBRARY


A small library of books related to the history of Tolland and some surrounding towns, biography, military history, State and U.S. histories.  Also, life from Colonial times through the Victorian (and later) periods; antiques, crafts, architecture, etc.  Most books are not for circulation, but may be used here.  A few are available to borrow. 


PHOTOGRAPHS


A collection of photographs of Tolland buildings, people, school classes, etc.    Copies of some photos are available for publication or personal use.  We also are interested in acquiring a wider variety of pictures, either as gifts or loaned to us for scanning.
