VIRTUAL EVENT: Join a free virtual workshop on researching Hartford’s early Colonial Black and Native American communities.
VIRTUAL EVENT: The Ancient Burying Ground Association and The Hartford History Center are presenting a free virtual workshop on researching Hartford’s early Colonial Black and Native American communities.
New research has uncovered information on over 500 African, African American and Native Americans buried in Hartford’s Ancient Burying Ground, 1640-1815. Dr. Kathy Hermes, historian, will demonstrate how to use this new information and how to use primary sources and archives to uncover their stories. Students, teachers, family historians, church historians, descendants, genealogists, and anyone interested in early Hartford will be fascinated. This program is funded by the ABGA and CT Humanities.
Registrants are invited to send research questions on the topic in advance to Jasmin Agosto, Hartford History Center, at jeagosto@hplct.org.

The Albany Branch Library endeavors daily to maintain its role as one of Albany Avenue’s most vital resources. The Albany Branch was established in 1926. It was first located in the Northwest School and then in rented quarters at 1239 Albany Avenue. The branch’s present location at 1250 Albany Avenue opened in February 1950 in a building designed by H. Sage Goodwin. In 2011 a new 8,000 square foot facility on the corner of Albany and Blue Hills Avenues replaced the sixty-one-year-old structure.
