On November 13, the Connecticut Digital Archive (CTDA), a program of the University of Connecticut in collaboration with the Connecticut State Library, celebrates its 5th anniversary. The CTDA is dedicated to the maintenance, delivery and preservation of a wide-range of digital resources for educational and cultural heritage institutions and state agencies in Connecticut. With currently over forty participating Community Members the CTDA holds well over one million digital objects that provide researchers with content addressing Connecticut, regional, national and international culture and history.
The repository opened on November 13, 2013, with 28,000 digitized pages from the records of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, from the Thomas J. Dodd Papers held at Archives & Special Collections. Researchers can now find a myriad of resources, including documents, photographs, and souvenirs in the P.T. Barnum Digital Collection, a collaboration between the Barnum Museum and the Bridgeport Public Library; dozens of newspapers provided by the Connecticut State Library; detailed diaries from Civil War physician Arminius Bill from the Bill Memorial Library in Groton; and artwork from the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme. The CTDA’s collections are currently being added to the Digital Public Library of America.
