April 28 – May 4, 2024 is Preservation Week, established to inspires action to preserve personal, family, and community collections in addition to library, museum, and archive collections.
Did you know that the Maker Space at the Main Library has a digitization station to help you do just that? Additionally the library offers access to Ancestry, the Connecticut Digital Archive and other history and genealogy resources. Perhaps your family history is local, have you ever explored the Farmington Room which includes histories of Farmington and other area towns (particularly Farmington’s seven daughter towns: Southington, Berlin, Bristol, New Britain, Burlington, Avon and Plainville), genealogies of major Farmington families, and library archives and scrapbooks.
