Finding aids are descriptive inventories, indexes, or collection guides that provide access to the unpublished materials in the library’s Special Collections.  These are tools the researcher can use to understand the size, contents, and arrangement of a collection.  Diverse collections warrant a variety of finding aids, but most guides will include a general overview, a biographical or historical note, and a detailed description of the collection.  Finding aids will be added to the website as they become available.

Collections are listed in alphabetical order.  Please scroll down and click on the appropriate link for a descriptive Scope and Contents note or for the complete Finding Aid.

If you would like further assistance, contact the librarian Barbara Goodwin at (860) 688-3813 or by email at bgoodwin@windsorhistoricalsociety.org.
