Join us at the monthly “open archive” where we welcome curious visitors, anyone with historical inquiries, and the loan or donation of items for digitization.

Your Gales Ferry and Ledyard memories will be added to the archive in the Janice W. Bell Historical Research Room at the Bill Library. We will scan them and return to you with a digital copy placed on your flash drive.
We can also assist you in preserving your family history:

• Donations of materials related to the people, buildings, and events of Ledyard and Gales Ferry are gratefully accepted for preservation and inclusion in the collection for future researchers, either as digital copies or the items themselves.
• Need a safe home for family history items that may not interest younger generations? We can provide that home, and will give you a digital copy. (We can even arrange for items to be kept private until a future date of your choosing.)
• Digital copies are easy to share with far-flung family members, or use as a back-up if the original is lost or damaged.

Contact Andrea Buka at research@ledyardhistory.org or 860-464-9912 (Bill Library) for more information.
