Connecticut Newspaper Indexes In Connecticut Libraries

Introduction
This list of Connecticut newspaper indexes found in Connecticut libraries is taken from information in the 1997 publication of the Connecticut Newspaper Project, Newspapers in Connecticut Libraries. With the passage of time, new indexes may have been created, and we invite any libraries who have created new indexes since 1997 or whose newspaper indexes are not mentioned here, to call us at 1-(860)-757-6580. We want to keep this list as current as possible.

This list is of newspaper indexes. The libraries with the index usually have the newspaper in question, but not always. If you would like to look at the actual newspaper, please contact a library to see if that institution has it. If the newspaper is on microfilm, it usually may be borrowed on interlibrary loan. Please note that the dates of the existence of the newspaper may be different than the dates of its index.
