Howard Whitney Collection

Friday, February 17th, 2006

Many of you will remember the tireless efforts the late Howard Whitney made to preserve and collect the history of Warren. Last year a generous donor left a box with Howard’s research notes in the Academy. It has taken me a while, but I’m pleased to report that I have finished cataloging and conserving them in acid-free folders and containers.
The information they contain is far reaching: information about the railroads, the iron works, the divisions, roads, old homesteads and more. The catalog itself is more than 15 pages. Individual queries on specific questions are welcome.
In addition, I have received a generous donation of the 1798 Direct Tax documents which shows all dwelling houses and appurtenant buildings in Warren. Warren is apparently one of only two towns in Connecticut for whom these lists have been preserved.
Any or all of the material pertaining to Warren’s history are open to researchers by appointment at the Academy.
